CLASSIC CASE OF THE BLUES
(As Recorded By The Bellamy Brothers)         Key: D

Medium Tempo Shuffle


Intro:  A - D 
D                                                              D7
G
Well, my truck broke down this morning on the freeway
          A
D
Somewhere between here and where I'd been
                                           D7
G
And I lost my favorite lady last night in a card game
             A                                                    D
She stacked the deck so I couldn't win

[Chorus]

                          D7                 G
And now I'm lost and lonesome
     A
D
Down so low I've got-ta reach up to tie my shoes
                  D7                 G
Now I'm lost and lonesome
    A                                                                    D
Livin' with a CLASSIC CASE OF THE BLUES

There's an old piano playin' on the jukebox
And a steel guitar just beggin' me to cry
And those barroom ladies smilin' by the dozen
Just so they can tear my heart out one more time

[Chorus][

Well, there's a brighter side to everything I'm saying
There's a silver lining somewhere down the line
But I sure ain't seen that brighter side lately
I'll be damned if I'll believe that lining shines

[Chorus]  Lead  [Chorus]
