Gordon Lightfoot

Tom original: C Capotraste: Sem capotraste Acordes: 7

INTRO:

Am  Em  F  G

VERSE 1:

      C             F
I was sitting in my hotel room
G                   C
Strumming my old guitar
    Am                     Em
Not much to do when you're far away
F                  G
Playing some smoky bar

VERSE 2:

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

VERSE 3:

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

VERSE 4:

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

CHORUS:

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

VERSE 5:

    C                F
She told me that her husband died
        G           C
And her son was overseas
        Am                       Em
I could tell by her eyes and her broken smile
        F                G
She was lonely just like me

VERSE 6:

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

CHORUS:

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

VERSE 7:

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

VERSE 8:

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

CHORUS:

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

CHORUS:

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