[A] [E] [F#m] Last [E] night [A] when I [D] fell so lonely and [A] so blue
I was [D] praying that all would slide loose
[A] That loose [E] all [F#m] fault [E] I had
[F#m] Well [E] he [A] was born [D] in Kentucky [A] far away
He would be [D] soon a famous [A] man
[E] Kentucky Avenue
I [A] took my guitar and my old country [D] fiddle
Read me a song [A] of the old [E] Calhoun
He [A] once watched the star in the face of the [D] union
[A] We all know [E] him as the old [A] [C#] Calhoun
[Bm]
[E] He [E] [A] was poor [D] with a penny to [A] his name
There was [D] sorrow and there was pain
[A] But no one [F#m] [E] was to blame
He [A] hands his arm [D] just a guitar in [A] his hands
He made fortune [D] and he got fame
[A] At last [E] he made [A] it great
[E] I [A] took my guitar and my old country fiddle
[D] Read me a song [A] of the old [E] Calhoun
[A] He once watched the star in the face of the union
[D] We [A] all know him [C#m] as the old [A] Calhoun
[Cm] Play [Bm] the song [A] now!

When you're lonely, [D] when you're blue
