| D | G | D | |
| You | wrote Your Cheatin' | Heart about |
| D7 | A | |
| A gal like my | first ex- | wife |
| D | G | D | |
| You | Moan The Blues for | me and for | you |
| A | D | |
| Hank Williams, You | Wrote My | Life. |
| D | G | D | |
| The Cold, Cold Heart and a | doubtful | mind |
| D7 | A | |
| I have known a | few my | self |
| D | G | D | |
| And the | gal that loved me | Half As | Much |
| A | D | |
| As she loved some- | body | else. |
| Refrain: |
| I've heard that blue old whipporwill, too |
| And the Lonesome Whistle whine |
| I know that feel; so cold, so real |
| When The Blues Come Around at midnight. |
| We've never met, I know and yet |
| I know you well, My Friend |
| And if ever I, get to heaven on high |
| I hope you'll shake my hand. |
| Refrain: |
