[A] [Cdim7] [G7] [F#7]
I've got a lovesick tale to tell to you
[B7] [E7] [A] [E7]
Though it ain't no fail of mine
[A] [Cdim7]
It's about a gal named Sue
[G7] [F#7]
And a boy named Lou
[B7] [E7]
They were fightin' all the time
[C#7] [F#7]
Sue came home one afternoon
[B7] [E7]
And found an empty dining room
[A] [Cdim7]
Without a word
[G7] [F#7]
A turtledove had flown
[B7] [E7]
Sue began to moan
[A] [A7]
"My sweetie went away
[D7] [D7/A]
But he didn't say where
[Dm7] [Dm7/A]
He didn't say when
[A7] [D7]
He didn't say why
[B7] [E7]*
Without biddin' me goodbye
[B7] [E7]* [A] [Cdim] [B7] [E7]*
Oh I'm blue as I can be
[A] [A7]
I know he loves another one
[D7] [D7/A]
But he didn't say who
[Dm7] [Dm7/A]
He didn't say when
[A7] [D7]
He didn't say what
[B7] [E7]*
His momma has got
[B7] [E7]* [A] [Dm7] [A]
That took my sweetie from me
[C#7]
I'm like a little lost sheep
And I can't sleep
[F#m7]
But I keep tryin' to forget
[E] [Fm] [F#m7] [B7] [E7] [Em7]
My travelin' poppa, he left his momma all alone
[E7] [E7]*
I groan
[A] [A7]
"My sweetie went away
[D7] [D7/A]
But he didn't say where
[Dm7] [Dm7/A]
He didn't say when
[A7] [D7]
He didn't say why
[B7] [E7]*
I know I'll die
[B7] [E7]* [A] [A7]* [D7] [Dm7] [A] [G7] [G#7] [A7]
Why don't he hurry on home?
