A
All alone here I stand
E
Heart in hell chin in hand
A
Thinking what will I do without you
Did I know did I see
E
Did I drive her away from me
A
Did I cause her to be so untrue
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
A E A
It's a red letter day for the blues
A
You were young you were wild
E
You were nothing but a child
A
You were sweet as a honeysuckle tree
Before I know before I saw
E
You took a young man and turned him old
A
And you drove on down the road of misery
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
A E A
It's a red letter day for the blues
