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 [C7#9]

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 frie[D7b9#5]nd

[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 [A7#5]
