Empty Bed Blues chords by Johnny Horton

Empty Bed Blues --Johnny Horton -

C
Well when the sun rose this morning

I was feeling mighty bad
                     C7
My baby said good morning  hell it made me mad
         F            C
Because I was evil  evil hearted me
     G7                  C
Down right evil  evil as a man can be


Well she even cooked my breakfast

And she brought to my bed

I took a sip of coffee
         C7
And threw the cup at her head
        F            C
Because I was evil  evil hearted me
           G7                 C
Yeah I'm down right evil  evil as a man can be


I don't even care if my baby leaves me flat
                     C7
I got forty eleven others if it comes to that
        F            C
She knows I'm evil  evil hearted me
      G7                C
Down right evil  evil as a man can be


My deep sea diver with a stroke

That can't go wrong
C7         F
Yeah I'm a deep sea diver with a
                     C
Stroke that can't go wrong
      G7
I can scrape the bottom
                         C
And my wind holds out so long



I bought me a coffee grinder

The best one I could find
C7    F
Yeah I bought me coffee grinder
                   C
I got the best one I could find
    G7
So she could grind my coffee
                  C
Cause she's got a brand new grind


I boiled her first cabbage
               C7
And I made it oh so hot
  F
I boiled her first cabbage
             C
And I made it oh so hot
     G7
And when I put in the bacon
              C
Lord it overflowed the pot


So when you get good loving

Don't you go and spread the news
C7   F
When you get good loving baby
               C
Don't go and spread the news
      G7
Cause your man will leave you
            C
With those empty bed blues
