Gordon Lightfoot - I Used To Be A Country Singer

CAPO: 2nd Fret

[INTRO:] Am Em F G

[VERSE 1:]
C F
I was sitting in my hotel room
G C
Strumming my old guitar
Am Em
Not much to do when you're far away
F G
Playing some smoky bar

[VERSE 2:]
C F
I was feeling a little empty
G C
And feeling a little blue
Am Em
When the maid came in and asked me
F G F Em D
If she could do my room

[VERSE 3:]
C F
I put down my old guitar
G C
And she gave me a smile
Am Em
She had a crusty voice and a drinker's look
F G
But she had a friendly style

[VERSE 4:]
C F
She dusted my room and made my bed
G C
And she talked of days gone by
Am Em
She spoke of when she wooed the men
F C
A tear came to her eye

[CHORUS:]
G Am G
And she said, "I used to be a country singer
Em Am
I could sing a mean Patsy Cline___
F Em Dm
My husband he could yodel like Wilf Carter
F G C
Kitty Wells was a real good friend of mine"

[VERSE 5:]
C F
She told me that her husband died
G C
And her son was overseas
Am Em
I could tell by her eyes and her broken smile
F G
She was lonely just like me

[VERSE 6:]
C F
She asked me if I'd listen to
G C
A tape of when she was young
Am Em
She said, "I can't sing now, I forget the words
F C
And my voice is almost gone"

[CHORUS:]
G Am G
And she said, "I used to be a country singer
Em Am
I could sing a mean Patsy Cline___
F Em Dm
My husband he could yodel like Wilf Carter
F G C
Kitty Wells was a real good friend of mine"

[VERSE 7:]
F
Oh, I cried inside, but I couldn't tell
G C
If it was for her or for me
Am Em
So I grabbed my axe and we sang a song
F G
In two part harmony

[VERSE 8:]
C F
Ever since that day when I'm feeling down
G C
And I can't find a happy tune
Am Em
I just think of that maid and the feeling she gave
F C
When she came to clean my room

[CHORUS:]
G Am G
And she said, "I used to be a country singer
Em Am
I could sing a mean Patsy Cline___
F Em Dm
My husband he could yodel like Wilf Carter
F G C
Kitty Wells was a real good friend of mine"

[CHORUS:]
G Am G
"I used to be a country singer
Em Am
I could sing a mean Patsy Cline___
F Em Dm
My husband he could yodel like Wilf Carter
F G Am G Em
Kitty Wells was a real good friend of mine______
F G C
Kitty Wells was a real good friend of mine
