So Sad 

  E                          G#m 
I waited all that morning to hear her say I love you  
   A                      B  
So sure I was so certain, it was left unspoken  
E                          G#m 
My heart, it was breaking, she turned back the curtain  
         A                         B 
She said nothing when she left me, she left me so heartbroken and  
E    G#m    A    B 
So sad    so sad  
So sad so sad  

Yes I waited all that mornin' to hear her say I love you  
In the mornin' light she glistened like a ruby in a stickpin  
Then she whispered something into the wet red-lettered window  
She said nothing she left me so heartbroken  
I was so sad so sad  
So sad so sad  

Shortys in the poolroom Billys in the chute  
Jack is at the track with some old lady with some loot  
Willie sits and wonders at the words he cannot rhyme  
I am not in prison I am only doin' time  
  
    A                                C#m 
And Blue Eyes died in Vegas when they blew away the Sands  
   F#m                                E   
And Elvis died in Memphis, boys, they nailed him in one hand  
A                    G#m                      
Haley died in Corpus Christi, died without a dime  
F#m                          B 
I am dead in Tennessee, they buried me alive  

And I am so sad  
so sad, so sad  
The best I had so sad  
Its what I have  
So sad so sad  

Yes I waited all that morning and so many mornings after  
So many lonely hours staring at the rafters  
Until I would close my eyes and feel you next to me  
But with the sun so sure to come will go my sweetest sleep  
And I am so sad so sad  
So sad, so sad
