[Intro 1]
[D][Bm][F#m][G][A]

[Verse 1]
I [D]was sittin' in my [G]hotel room,
[A]strummin' my old gui[D]tar
Not [Bm]much to do when you're [F#m]far away,
[G]playin' some smokey [A]bar
I was [D]feelin' a little [G]empty
and [A]feelin' a little [D]blue
When the [Bm]maid came in [F#m]and asked me if
[G]she could do my [A]room[G][A][F#m][A]
[D]I put down my o[G]ld guitar and
[A]she gave me [D]a smile
She had a [Bm]crusty voice and a [F#m]drinker's look,
but she [G]had a friendly [A]style
She [D]dusted my room and [G]made my bed
and she [A]talked of days gone [D]by
She [Bm]spoke of when she [F#m]wooed the
[G]men; a tear came to [D]her eye

[Verse 2]
And she [A]said
I used to be a country [Bm]singer[A]
I could sing a mean patsy [F#m]cline[Bm]
My [G]husband he could [F#m]yodel like wilf [Em]carter
[G]Kitty wells was a [A]real good friend of mine
[D]

[Verse 3]
She told me that her [G]husband died
and her [A]son was over[Dm]seas
[D]I could tel[Bm]l by her eyes and her bro[F#m]ken
smile she was [G]lonely just like [A]me
She [D]asked me if I'd [G]listen to a
[A]tape of when she was [D]young
She said I [Bm]can't sing now I for[F#m]got the
words and my [G]voice is almost [D]gone

[Verse 4]
[D]And she [A]said
I used to be a country [Bm]singer[A]
I could sing a mean patsy [F#m]cline[Bm]
My [G]husband he could [F#m]yodel like wilf [Em]carter
[G]Kitty wells was a [A]real good friend of mine
[D]

[Verse 5]
Oh I cried inside but I [G]couldn't tell
if it [A]was for her or for [Dm]me[D]
So I [Bm]grabbed my axe and we [F#m]sang
a song in [G]two part [A]harmony
Ever [D]since that day when I'm [G]feelin'
down and I [A]can't find a happy tun[D]e
I just [Bm]think if that maid and the [F#m]feeling she gave,
when she [G]came to clean my room
[D]

[Verse 6]
And she [A]said
I used to be a country [Bm]singe[A]r
I could sing a mean patsy [F#m]cline[Bm]
My [G]husband he could [F#m]yodel like wilf [Em]carter
[G]Kitty wells was a [A]real good friend of mine
[D]

[Verse 7]
[A]And she said
I used to be a country [Bm]singer[A]
I could sing a mean patsy [F#m]cline[Bm]
My [G]husband he could [F#m]yodel like wilf [Em]carter
[G]Kitty wells was a [A]real good
friend [Bm]of mi[F#m]ne
[G]Kitty wells was a [A]real good friend of mine
[D]
