  			A 
All alone here I stand 
         E 
Heart in hell chin in hand 
         E                      A 
Thinking what will I do without you 
A  
Did I know  did I see 
      E 
Did I drive her away from me 
      E                  A 
Did I cause her to be so untrue 


Chorus: 
            E 
The way she done me it ain't fair 
          D             A     
Think I'm losing all my hair 
         E             D           E 
Paid the price for the life that I choose 
       E                      A      E   A 
It's a red letter day for the blues 


Steel Solo 


You were young you were wild 
You were nothing but a child 
You were sweet as a honeysuckle tree 
Before I saw, before I know 
You took a young man and turned him old 
And you drove on down the road of misery

It's a red letter day 
       E 
It's a red letter day 
       E                      A 
It's a red letter day for the blues
