F5                    D5
It's four in the morning,
           E?7         A7+#59  B5   
There's not a soul around
 D5          D5  
This dirty hotel room
      G7[13]                           C7#9  F5
Has really got me down

Bbma7
A modern day minstrel,

        Bb5             Eb5
They got my name in lights

   A5
I wish these days of glamour

          D5                   D7b9 
Didn't have these lonely nights

     G5
I'm on the road to fortune

          Bb5               Eb5                          F5  D5 G5 C7b9
And I got the suitcase blues real bad

F5                  D5
I guess I'm makin' payments
Em7(b5)                            A7+#59  B5   
For the dues that must be paid
   
   D5            D5
I cash another song
             
            G5                           C7#9  F5
Into this endless masquerade

Bbma7
halfway through the circuit

       Bb5             Eb5
And headed for the coast

        A5
Been gone so long I can't remember

D5                   D7b9 
What I miss the most, ah, but,

G5
Me and Johnny Walker,

            Bb5               Eb5 orEb5
And the comfort that he brings,

A5                                   
Waitin' on the telephone

        D5             D7b9
That never, ever rings

G5  
On the lonely road to fortune,

         Bb5               Eb5
and I got the suitcase blues real bad

D5      G5 or G5 or G5  REPEAT
D5      G5
I got the blues
          D5               G5
And I got them really bad

D5            G5
The suitcase blues
            D5           G5
Are the worst I ever had

E5        A5
all by my lonesome
            E5                       A5 
And I'm halfway 'round the bend

[ Eb5 ]    A5          D5
I          don't mind drinkin' solo

         G5               D7b9#5
But I sure could use a friend
