D5   G5                   D5  
You wrote Your Cheatin' Heart about 
  D5                     A5 
A gal like my first ex-wife 
    D5                  G5          D5 
You moan the blues for me and for you 
                   A5        D5 
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 
                  A5     D5
As she loved some- body 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:
