Lovesick Blues Hank Williams
Lovesick Blues by Hank Williams Sr.
Key of Cmaj
Tabbed by Mike Benson
Note: I like to strum this song using a swing rhythm and while doing that using my thumb
make a bass line either sol(5) up to do(1) or do(1) down to fa(4) creating this kind of
shuffle. It makes your strumming a little more interesting.

Lord I love to hear her when she calls me sweet daddy
Such a beautiful d[C/G]ream. I hate to think it all over.
I've lost my heart it [Amaj]seems. I've grown so [Ebmaj]used to you somehow, well I'm

this is all I can s[C/G]ay... (play through verse once more)
