Blue Side of Lonesome
recorded by George Jones [3/4 time]
written by Leon Payne
G D7
I'm calling to tell you it's over
G
Yes darling you're now free to go
D7
You're saying you're sorry you hurt me
G G7
But you hurt me much more than you know
C G
You're asking me where this call comes from
D7 A7 D7
Oh I hope that you won't interfere
G D7
If your new romance turns out a failure
G
Here's where you'll find me my dear
chorus
D7
I'm just on the blue side of lonesome
G
Right next to the Heartbreak Hotel
D7
In a tavern that's known as Three Teardrops
G
On a bar stool not doing so well
D7
The floor has a carpet of sorrows
G
Yet no one can weep in the aisle
D7
And they say someone broke the bar mirror
G
With only the ghost of a smile
C G
The hands on the clock never alter
D7 A7 D7
For things never change in this place
G D7
There's no present no past no future
G
We're the ones who have lost in loves race
repeat chorus
