CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO:
Am Em F G
VERSE 1:
CF
I was sitting in my hotel room
GC
Strumming my old guitar
AmEm
Not much to do when you're far away
FG
Playing some smoky bar
VERSE 2:
CF
I was feeling a little empty
GC
And feeling a little blue
AmEm
When the maid came in and asked me
FGDm
If she could do my room
VERSE 3:
CF
I put down my old guitar
GC
And she gave me a smile
AmEm
She had a crusty voice and a drinker's look
FG
But she had a friendly style
VERSE 4:
CF
She dusted my room and made my bed
GC
And she talked of days gone by
AmEm
She spoke of when she wooed the men
FC
A tear came to her eye
CHORUS:
GAmG
And she said, "I used to be a country singer
EmAm
I could sing a mean Patsy Cline___
FEmDm
My husband he could yodel like Wilf Carter
FGC
Kitty Wells was a real good friend of mine"
VERSE 5:
CF
She told me that her husband died
GC
And her son was overseas
AmEm
I could tell by her eyes and her broken smile
FG
She was lonely just like me
VERSE 6:
CF
She asked me if I'd listen to
GC
A tape of when she was young
AmEm
She said, "I can't sing now, I forget the words
FC
And my voice is almost gone"
CHORUS:
GAmG
And she said, "I used to be a country singer
EmAm
I could sing a mean Patsy Cline___
FEmDm
My husband he could yodel like Wilf Carter
FGC
Kitty Wells was a real good friend of mine"
VERSE 7:
F
Oh, I cried inside, but I couldn't tell
GC
If it was for her or for me
AmEm
So I grabbed my axe and we sang a song
FG
In two part harmony
VERSE 8:
CF
Ever since that day when I'm feeling down
GC
And I can't find a happy tune
AmEm
I just think of that maid and the feeling she gave
FC
When she came to clean my room
CHORUS:
GAmG
And she said, "I used to be a country singer
EmAm
I could sing a mean Patsy Cline___
FEmDm
My husband he could yodel like Wilf Carter
FGC
Kitty Wells was a real good friend of mine"
CHORUS:
GAmG
"I used to be a country singer
EmAm
I could sing a mean Patsy Cline___
FEmDm
My husband he could yodel like Wilf Carter
FGAmGEm
Kitty Wells was a real good friend of mine______
