Intro: A D 
 
G                                         D7 
Well, my truck broke down this morning on the freeway 
D               D 
Somewhere between here and where I'd been 
G                                       D7 
And I lost my favorite lady last night in a card game 
     A                         D 
She stacked the deck so I couldn't win. 


              D7             G 
And now I'm lost and lonesome 
   A                        D 
Down so low I've got-ta reach up to tie my shoes 
                   D7             G 
Now I'm lost and lonesome 
  A                                     D 
Livin' with a classic case of the blues. 


G                                    D7 
There's an old piano playin' on the jukebox 
D               D 
And a steel guitar just beggin' me to cry 
G                                       D7 
And those barroom ladies smilin' by the dozen 
   A                                D 
Just so they can tear my heart out one more time. 


              D7             G 
And now I'm lost and lonesome 
   A                        D 
Down so low I've got-ta reach up to tie my shoes 
                   D7             G 
Now I'm lost and lonesome 
  A                                     D 
Livin' with a classic case of the blues. 


G                                   D7 
Well, there's a brighter side to everything I'm saying 
D                          D 
There's a silver lining somewhere down the line 
G                                      D7 
But I sure ain't seen that brighter side lately 
   A                                   D 
I'll be damned if I'll believe that lining shines. 


              D7             G 
And now I'm lost and lonesome 
   A                        D 
Down so low I've got-ta reach up to tie my shoes 
                   D7             G 
Now I'm lost and lonesome 
  A                                     D 
Livin' with a classic case of the blues.
