I was Csitting in my Fhotel room
GStrumming my old guiCtar
Not Ammuch to do when you're Emfar away
FPlaying some smoky Gbar

And Gfeeling a little Cblue
When the Ammaid came in and Emasked me
If Fshe could do my Groom

Verse
CI put down my Fold guitar
And Gshe gave me a Csmile
She had a Amcrusty voice and a Emdrinker's look
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

And her Gson was overCseas

She said, "I Amcan't sing now, I Emforget the words
And my Fvoice is almost Cgone"
