Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Since you left me baby I've been true to you

I don't run around with every gal in town

 The way I used to do

 I'm startin' over new

 Yours forever blue

I wrote you a letter and every word was true

I apologized for all my lies

 And the way I treated you

 Signed it "lonely fool"

 Yours forever blue

Lately I've been hurtin' deep inside of me

My poor heart's broke and every ragged stroke

 Brings back your memory

 Keeps me wantin' you

 Yours forever blue

But I don't need no doctor to tell me what to do

'Bout this spell of yours 'cause there ain't no cure

 Even if I wanted to

 Can't get over you

 Yours forever blue

If you ever want me you know what to do

Just call my name 'cause I ain't ashamed

 To crawl on home to you

 If you want me to

 Yours forever blue

I'm gonna buy myself a guitar

Any kind'll do

The only song I know play it soft and low

 While I moan the blues for you

 The whole night through

 Yours forever blue
