[Refrão]D G D
You wrote Your Cheatin' Heart about
D A
A gal like my first ex-wife
D G D
You moan the blues for me and for you
A D
Hank Williams, you wrote my life
The Cold, Cold Heart and a doubtful mind
I have known a few myself
And the gal that loved me Half As Much
As she loved some-(A) body (D) else.
Chorus:
I've heard that blue old whipporwill, too
And the Lonesome Whistle whine
I know that feel; so cold, so real
When The Blues Come Around at midnight.
We've never met, I know and yet
I know you well, My Friend
And if ever I, get to heaven on high
I hope you'll shake my hand.
Chorus:
