Standard (EADGBE)

It's four in the morning,

Edim7 +5+9

There's not a soul around

This dirty hotel room

[13] C7#9

Has really got me down

A modern day minstrel,

They got my name in lights

I wish these days of glamour

Didn't have these lonely nights

I'm on the road to fortune

And I got the suitcase blues real bad

I guess I'm makin' payments

Em7b5 +5+9

For the dues that must be paid

I cash another song

Into this endless masquerade

halfway through the circuit

And headed for the coast

Been gone so long I can't remember

What I miss the most, ah, but,

Me and Johnny Walker,

orEb9

And the comfort that he brings,

Waitin' on the telephone

That never, ever rings

On the lonely road to fortune,

and I got the suitcase blues real bad

or or REPEAT

I got the blues

And I got them really bad

The suitcase blues

Are the worst I ever had

all by my lonesome

And I'm halfway 'round the bend

I don't mind drinkin' solo

But I sure could use a friend

[9]

Me and Johnny Walker,

And the comfort that he brings,

Waitin' on the telephone

That never, ever rings

On the lonely road to fortune,

and I got the suitcase blues real

bad
