A5 
All alone here I stand 
         E5 
Heart in hell chin in hand 
                                A5 
Thinking what will I do without you 
 
Did I know  did I see 
      E5 
Did I drive her away from me 
                         A5 
Did I cause her to be so untrue 
            E5 
The way she done me it ain't fair 
          D5             A5     
Think I'm losing all my hair 
         E5             D5           E5 
Paid the price for the life that I choose 
                              A5           E5     A5 
It's a red letter day for the blues 
A5 
You were young you were wild 
         E5  
You were nothing but a child 
                                A5 
You were sweet as a honeysuckle tree 
 
Before I know  before I saw 
           E5 
You took a young man and turned him old 
                                  A5 
And you drove on down the road of misery 
            E5 
The way she done me it ain't fair 
          D5             A5     
Think I'm losing all my hair 
         E5             D5           E5 
Paid the price for the life that I choose 
                              A5           E5     A5 
It's a red letter day for the blues 
 
SOLO 
            E5 
The way she done me it ain't fair 
          D5             A5     
Think I'm losing all my hair 
         E5             D5           E5 
Paid the price for the life that I choose 
                              A5            
It's a red letter day for the blues 
       E5 
It's a red letter day 
 
It's a red letter day 
                              A5     E5   A5 
It's a red letter day for the blues
