  			D   G                   D  
You wrote Your Cheatin' Heart about 
  D                     A 
A gal like my first ex-wife 
    D                  G          D 
You moan the blues for me and for you 
                   A        D 
Hank Williams, you wrote my life 
 
 
The Cold, Cold Heart and a doubtful mind 
I have known a few myself 
And the gal that loved me Half As Much 
As she loved some-(A) body (D) else. 
 
Chorus: 
 
I've heard that blue old whipporwill, too 
And the Lonesome Whistle whine 
I know that feel; so cold, so real 
When The Blues Come Around at midnight. 
 
We've never met, I know and yet 
I know you well, My Friend 
And if ever I, get to heaven on high 
I hope you'll shake my hand. 
 
Chorus:
