Blue Side Of Lonesome
Jim Reeves
Album: Jim Reeves 36 All-time Greatest Hits (1997)
Intro: | E7// | E7// | A// | A// |
A E7
I'm calling to tell you it's over
A
Yes darling you're now free to go
E7
You're saying you're sorry you hurt me
A A7
But you hurt me much more than you know
D A
You're asking me where this call comes from
E7 Bm E7
Oh I hope that you won't interfere
A E7
If your new romance turns out a failure
A
Here's where you'll find me my dear
Chorus
E7
I'm just on the blue side of lonesome
A
Right next to the Heartbreak Hotel
E7
In a tavern that's known as three teardrops
A
On a bar stool not doing so well
Inst: | A// | E7// | E7// | A// | A// |
E7
The floor has a carpet of sorrows
A
Yet no one can weep in the aisle
E7
And they say someone broke the bar mirror
A A7
With only the ghost of a smile
D A
The hands on the clock never alter
E7 Bm E7
For things never change in this place
A E7
There's no present no past no future
A
We're the ones who have lost in loves race
Chorus
E7
I'm just on the blue side of lonesome
A
Right next to the Heartbreak Hotel
E7
In a tavern that's known as three teardrops
A
On a bar stool not doing so well
