Well, my truck broke down this morning on the freeway 
C               C 
Somewhere between here and where I'd been 
F                                       C7 
And I lost my favorite lady last night in a card game 
     G                         C 
She stacked the deck so I couldn't win. 
 
              C7             F 
And now I'm lost and lonesome 
   G                        C 
Down so low I've got-ta reach up to tie my shoes 
                   C7             F 
Now I'm lost and lonesome 
  G                                     C 
Livin' with a classic case of the blues. 
 
F                                    C7 
There's an old piano playin' on the jukebox 
C               C 
And a steel guitar just beggin' me to cry 
F                                       C7 
And those barroom ladies smilin' by the dozen 
   G                                C 
Just so they can tear my heart out one more time. 
 
              C7             F 
And now I'm lost and lonesome 
   G                        C 
Down so low I've got-ta reach up to tie my shoes 
                   C7             F 
Now I'm lost and lonesome 
  G                                     C 
Livin' with a classic case of the blues. 
 
F                                   C7 
Well, there's a brighter side to everything I'm saying 
C                          C 
There's a silver lining somewhere down the line 
F                                      C7 
But I sure ain't seen that brighter side lately 
   G                                   C 
I'll be damned if I'll believe that lining shines. 
 
              C7             F 
And now I'm lost and lonesome 
   G                        C 
Down so low I've got-ta reach up to tie my shoes 
                   C7             F 
Now I'm lost and lonesome 
  G                                     C
