CAPO: 2nd Fret


[INTRO:] Am Em F G

[VERSE 1:]
I was [C]sitting in my [F]hotel room
[G]Strumming my old gui[C]tar
Not [Am]much to do when you're [Em]far away
[F]Playing some smoky [G]bar


[VERSE 2:]
I was [C]feeling a little [F]empty
And [G]feeling a little [C]blue
When the [Am]maid came in and [Em]asked me
If [F]she could do my [G]room[F][Em][D]

[VERSE 3:]
[C]I put down my [F]old guitar
And [G]she gave me a [C]smile
She had a [Am]crusty voice and a [Em]drinker's look
But she [F]had a friendly [G]style

[VERSE 4:]
She [C]dusted my room and [F]made my bed
And she [G]talked of days gone [C]by
She [Am]spoke of when she [Em]wooed the men
A [F]tear came to her [C]eye

[CHORUS:]
And she said,[G] "I used to be a country [Am]singer[G]
I could sing a mean Patsy [Em]Cline[Am]___
My [F]husband he could [Em]yodel like Wilf [Dm]Carter
[F]Kitty Wells was a [G]real good friend of [C]mine"

[VERSE 5:]
She [C]told me that her [F]husband died
And her [G]son was over[C]seas
I could [Am]tell by her eyes and her [Em]broken smile
She was [F]lonely just like [G]me

[VERSE 6:]
She [C]asked me if I'd [F]listen to
A [G]tape of when she was [C]young
She said, "I [Am]can't sing now, I [Em]forget the words
And my [F]voice is almost [C]gone"

[CHORUS:]
And she said,[G] "I used to be a country [Am]singer[G]
I could sing a mean Patsy [Em]Cline[Am]___
My [F]husband he could [Em]yodel like Wilf [Dm]Carter
[F]Kitty Wells was a [G]real good friend of [C]mine"

[VERSE 7:]
Oh, I cried inside, but I [F]couldn't tell
If it [G]was for her or for [C]me
So I [Am]grabbed my axe and we [Em]sang a song
In [F]two part harmo[G]ny

[VERSE 8:]
Ever [C]since that day when I'm [F]feeling down
And I [G]can't find a happy [C]tune
I just [Am]think of that maid and the [Em]feeling she gave
When she [F]came to clean my [C]room

[CHORUS:]
And she said,[G] "I used to be a country [Am]singer[G]
I could sing a mean Patsy [Em]Cline[Am]___
My [F]husband he could [Em]yodel like Wilf [Dm]Carter
[F]Kitty Wells was a [G]real good friend of [C]mine"

[CHORUS:]
[G] "I used to be a country [Am]singer[G]
I could sing a mean Patsy [Em]Cline[Am]___
My [F]husband he could [Em]yodel like Wilf [Dm]Carter
[F]Kitty Wells was a [G]real good friend of [Am]mine[G]___[Em]___
[F]Kitty Wells was a [G]real good friend of [C]mine
