Drunkards Blues Chords

(ver. 1)
Hank Thompson
[Intro]
Am
 
[Verse 1]
Am
Walking slow to the graveyard
                             Dm
I've lost everything I could lose
E7                     Am
Now I've even lost my baby
Dm                   E          Am
I guess I've got the drunkard's blues
 
[Verse 2]
       E                  Am
It was down at Big Joe's barroom
                          Dm
on the corner beyond the square
E7                      Am
Everybody drinkin' good liquor
Dm          E7        Am
the regular crowd was there
 
[Verse 3]
     E                  Am
So I strolls out on the sidewalk
              Dm
began to look around
E7                        Am
Looking everywhere for my baby
         Dm          E7       Am
but that sweet woman can't be found
 
[Verse 4]
                  E       Am
It was down at St James infirmary
                Dm
I found my baby there
E7                            Am
Stretched out on a long white table
   Dm       E7      Am
so cold so pale so fair
 
[Verse 5]
                   E           Am
So I strolled back down to the barroom
                        Dm
to get another drink of gin
    E7                      Am
The next thing you know I'm reeling
Dm          E     Am
rocking and drunk again
 
[Verse 6]
        E          Am
Sixteen coal black horses
                     Dm
all hitched up in a line
  E7                       Am
In that pretty buggy she's ridin'
Dm          E7     Am
goodbye ol' gal of mine
 
[Verse 7]
        E           Am
Walking slow to the graveyard
                             Dm
I've lost everything I could lose
E7                    Am
Now I've even lost my baby
Dm                   E         Am
I guess I've got the drunker's blues
