Suitcase Blues

[F]It's four in the morn[Dm7]ing,
           Edim7         [A7]+5+9  [B9]
There's not a soul around
T[Dm7]his dirty hot[D9]el room
      [G7][13]                           C7
Has really got me down

[Bbma7]A modern day minstrel,

They got[Bbm7] my name in light[Eb9]s

I w[Am7]ish these days of glamour

Didn't hav[D9]e these lonely nights[D7b9]

I'm o[Gm7]n the road to fortune

And I got [Bbm7]the suitcase blues [Eb9]real bad                     [F]                        [Dm7]                            [Gm7]                                [C7b9]

[Fmaj7]I guess I'm makin' paym[Dm7]ents
Em7b5                            [A7]+5+9  [B9]
For the dues that must be paid

I c[Dm7]ash another son[D9]g

Into this en[G7]dless masquerade             [C7#9]                   [F13]

[Bbma7]halfway through the circuit

And hea[Bbm7]ded for the coast[Eb9]

Been gon[Am7]e so long I can't remember

[D9]What I miss the most,[D7b9] ah, but,

[Gm7]Me and Johnny Walker,

            [Bbm7]               [Eb7] orEb9
And the comfort that he brings,

[Am7]Waitin' on the telephone

That nev[D9]er, ever rings [D7b9]

[Gm7]On the lonely road to fortune,

and I got[Bbm7] the suitcase blues[Eb9] real bad

[Dm7]      [G9] or [G7] or [G13]  REPEAT
[Dm7]I got the[G13] blues
And I got [Dm7]them really bad   [G13]

[Dm7]The suitcase bl[G13]ues
Are the wors[Dm7]t I ever had  [G13]

[Em7]all by my l[A13]onesome
And I'm half[Em7]way 'round the bend    [A13]

[Eb9]I      [Am7]    don't min[D7]d drinkin' solo

But I sur[Gm7]e could use a frie[D7b9#5]nd
[Gm7][9]
Me and Johnny Walker,

And the comf[Bbm7]ort that he brings,[Eb9]

[Am7]Waitin' on the telephone

That nev[D9]er, ever rings [D7b9]

On the lon[Gm7]ely road to fortune,

and I got[Bbm7] the suitcase blues[Eb9] real [A7#5]         [F]           [E]             [Eb]                [D]                  [Fmaj7]
