Blue Side Of Lonesome Chords by John Prine & Mac Wiseman

[Verse]

Bb             Bb7           F     F7
I'm calling to tell you it's over
     F                   F7      Bb    Bb 
Yes, darling, you're now free to go
       Bb            Bb7       Eb
You're saying you're  sorry you hurt me
       F       F7                 Bb    Bb 
But you hurt me much more than you know
 
[Verse]

       Bb        Bb7       
You're asking me where this 
     F          F7
Call comes from
     F            F7           Bb     Bb 
Oh, I hope that you won't end up here
   Bb         Bb7               Eb
If your new romance turns out a failure
F               F7          Bb     Bb 
Here's where to find me, my dear
 
[Chorus]

    Bb          Bb7          F7        F
I'm just on the blue side of lonesome
      F                        Bb    Bb 
Right next to the Heartbreak Hotel
     Bb            Bb             Eb
In a tavern that's known as Three Teardrops
     F7           F        Bb     Bb 
On a barstool not doing so well
 
[Instrumental]

   Bb         B7          F           F
   F          F7          Bb          Bb 
   Bb         Bb7         Eb          Cm
   F7         F           Bb           Bb 

 
[Verse]

    Bb          Bb7       F       F7
The floor has a carpet of sorrow
    F          F7          Bb     Bb 
But no one can weep in the aisle
         Bb          Bb7           Eb
And they say someone broke the bar mirror
     F        F7         Bb     Bb 
With only the ghost of a smile
 
[Verse]

    Bb           Bb7         F       F
The hands on the clock never alter
    F7           F              Bb     Bb 
For things never change in this place
           Bb          Bb7        Eb
There's no present, no future, no past, dear
           F           
You're the one who has 
F7             Bb     Bb 
Lost in love's race
 
[Outro]

    Bb          Bb7          F7        F
I'm just on the blue side of lonesome
      F                        Bb     Bb 
Right next to the Heartbreak Hotel
     Bb            Bb       
In a tavern that's known as 
      Eb       Cm
Three Teardrops
     F            F7       Bb     Bb 
On a barstool not doing so well
     F            F7       Bb    Bb 
On a barstool not doing so well
