Mickey Newbury - So Sad Chords

  E                          G#m
I waited all that morning to hear her say I love you 
   A                      B 
So sure I was so certain, it was left unspoken 
E                          G#m
My heart, it was breaking, she turned back the curtain 
         A                         B
She said nothing when she left me, she left me so heartbroken and 
E    G#m    A    B
So sad    so sad 
So sad so sad 

Yes I waited all that mornin' to hear her say I love you 
In the mornin' light she glistened like a ruby in a stickpin 
Then she whispered something into the wet red-lettered window 
She said nothing she left me so heartbroken 
I was so sad so sad 
So sad so sad 

Shortys in the poolroom Billys in the chute 
Jack is at the track with some old lady with some loot 
Willie sits and wonders at the words he cannot rhyme 
I am not in prison I am only doin' time 
 
    A                                C#m
And Blue Eyes died in Vegas when they blew away the Sands 
   F#m                                E  
And Elvis died in Memphis, boys, they nailed him in one hand 
A                    G#m                     
Haley died in Corpus Christi, died without a dime 
F#m                          B
I am dead in Tennessee, they buried me alive 

And I am so sad 
so sad, so sad 
The best I had so sad 
Its what I have 
So sad so sad 

Yes I waited all that morning and so many mornings after 
So many lonely hours staring at the rafters 
Until I would close my eyes and feel you next to me 
But with the sun so sure to come will go my sweetest sleep 
And I am so sad so sad 
So sad, so sad
