Classic case of the blues
 
 D - A – A7- D – A ~
 
 D D7 G
1. Well, my truck broke down this morning on the freeway,
 A  A7 D - A
 somewhere between here and where I'd been,
 D D7 G
 and I lost my favorite lady last night in a card game,
 A  A7 D - A
 she stacked the deck so I couldn't win.
 
 D – D7 G
And now I'm lo…..st and lonesome,
 A A7 D - A
down so low I gotta reach up to tie my shoes. 
 D – D7 G
Yes, I'm lo…....st and lonesome,
 A A7 D - A
livin' with a classic case of the blues.
 
 D D7 G
2. There's an old piano playin' on the jukebox,
 A A7 D - A
 and a steel guitar beggin' me to cry,
 D D7 G
 and them barroom angels smilin' by the dozen,
 A A7 D - A
 ‘cause just so they can tear my heart out one more time. + CHORUS
 
 D D7  G
3. Well, there's a brighter side to everything I'm saying,
 A A7 D - A
 there's a silver lining somewhere down the line,
 D D7  G
 but I sure ain't seen that brighter side lately,
 A A7 D - A
 I'll be damned if I believe that lining shines. + CHORUS (2x)
 
G A  A7 D - A - D
 You've got me livin' with a classic case of the blues.
