Tuning: E A D G B E

Song written by: Keith Gattis/Wyatt Earp Meter is 3/4 time You can play the song with a capo on the 2nd fret in the key of G if you transpose this key down two half steps. [Intro] A E [Verse 1]

I don't know ^Ahow to write you a ^Dsong That says, I'm ^Asorry, I know I was ^Ewrong I can't find the ^Awords that don't make it ^Dcheap It's right on the ^Averge and^E just out of re^Aach

[Chorus 1]

It must be a^D sad song with a blue me^F#mlody And I'll bet you it's^E lonesome, as lonesome as can^A be But I'm starting to ^Dwonder if there's such ^F#ma thing ^D As a ^Asad son^Eg that's too sad to^A sing^E

[Verse 2]

Maybe t^Aonight, maybe this time ^Dtomorrow Me and this ^Aguitar will get right with this ^Esorrow And I'll play it for^A you, and you'll come back to ^Dme 'Cause you were always a^A fool^E for the blue mel^Aodies

[Chorus 2]

So it must be a ^Dsad song in three quarter t^F#mime That chills down to the ^Ebone when^E7 the steel guitars^A cry But if it's not the^D one that brings you home t^F#mo me ^D Then it's just a^A sad song^E that's too sad to ^Asing

[Solo] D D F#m F#m E E7 A [Chorus 3/Ending]

Awe but if it's not the^D one that brings you back ^F#mto me ^D Then it's just ^Aa sad so^Eng that's too sad to^F#m sing ^D Oh, it's just a^A sad son^Eg… that's too sad t^Do si^A/C#ng ^Bm7 ^A
