A7                    D7
I'm so tired of moaning
                          A7  E7 A7 D7
Trying to groan away my blues
                      A7 D7
I'm so tired of moaning
                           A7  E7 A7 E7
Trying to groan away my blues
                         D7
I keep weeping and crying
                       A7
Every time I think of you

I would rather die of starvation
Perish out in the desert sun
I would rather die of starvation
Perish out in the desert sun
Than to think of some other man
Holding you in his arms

My heart gets so heavy
Lord, I shake down in my bones
My heart gets so heavy
Lord, I shake down in my bones
I can't hurt a murderer
Oh Lord, but I'm forced to weep and moan
