I was Csitting in my Fhotel room
GStrumming my old guiCtar
Not Ammuch to do when you're Emfar away
FPlaying some smoky Gbar
I was Cfeeling a little Fempty
And Gfeeling a little Cblue
When the Ammaid came in and Emasked me
If Fshe could do my Groom _ F _ Em _ Dm _
CI put down my Fold guitar
And Gshe gave me a Csmile
She had a Amcrusty voice and a Emdrinker's look
F G g6,3 a5,0 b5,2
But she had a friendly style
She Cdusted my room and Fmade my bed
And she Gtalked of days gone Cby
She Amspoke of when she Emwooed the men
A Ftear came to her Ceye _ _ _

She Ctold me that her Fhusband died
And her Gson was overCseas
I could Amtell by her eyes and her Embroken smile
She was Flonely just like Gme
She Casked me if I'd Flisten to
A Gtape of when she was Cyoung
She said, "I Amcan't sing now, I Emforget the words
And my Fvoice is almost Cgone"_ _ _

If it Gwas for her or for Cme
So I Amgrabbed my axe and we Emsang a song
In Ftwo part harmoGny
Ever Csince that day when I'm Ffeeling down
And I Gcan't find a happy Ctune
