Standard (EADGBE)
It's four in the morn ing,
Edim7 +5+9
There's not a soul around
This dirty hot el room
[13] C7#9
Has really got me down
A modern day minstrel,
They got my name in light s
I w ish these days of glamour
Didn't have these lonely nights
I'm o n the road to fortune
And I got the suitcase blues real bad
I guess I'm makin' paym ents
Em7b5 +5+9
For the dues that must be paid
I cash another son g
Into this endless masquerade
halfway through the circuit
And headed for the coast
Been gon e 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 bl ues
Are the worst I ever had
all by my l onesome
And I'm halfway 'round the bend
I don't min d drinkin' solo
But I sure could use a frie nd

Me and Johnny Walker,
And the comfort that he brings,
Waitin' on the telephone
That never, ever rings
On the lon ely road to fortune,
and I got the suitcase blues real
bad
