I’m in love, I’m
in love, with 
a beautiful man,
B7   
  that’s what’s 
                Em
the matter with me.
Oh, I’m in love, 
I’m in love, 
with a beautiful
 man, 
A7    
but he doesn’t 
care
       D
 about me.
     D7    
Lord, I tried, 
how I tried, 
G  
I cried, and I 
sighed,
B7      
  but he just
 would 
   Em
refuse.
   A7   
And now that
 he is 
 D    B7     
gone away, 
I have 
 A  Ab  
got the 
 A   A   
lovesick 
  D
blues.

[Verse 1]
I have got a feeling 
             G  
called the blues, oh, 
Lord, since my baby 
         D7
said goodbye.
 Lord, I don’t
 know
 what I’ll do,
 all I do is sit 
     G        G7
and cry, oh, Lord.
           C
That long day he
 said
 goodbye; oh,
  G             
 Lord, I wanted 
    E7
to die.
       A7  
 He’ll do me, 
he’ll do you, 
he’s got that 
kind of 
       D7
loving;  oh, how 
I loved it when
 he
 called me.
You’ll see the
  G     
 day gleam, 
oh Lord, such a 
           D7
beautiful dream,
 I hate to think
 it’s all 
over; it’s getting 
           B7
harder it seems.
              C   
I’ve grown so used
 to that 
man somehow, 
that I’m 
 G            
nobody’s sugar
  E7
 mama now;
 it’s awful when
 you’re 
 A7      D7       
lonesome,  I have
 got the 
           G
lovesick blues.

I have got a

 Lord, I don’t

cry, oh, Lord.
That last long 
 C

Lord, I wanted 
    E7
to die.
       A7
