Ernest Tubb – A Heartsick Soldier On A Heartbreak Ridge (Guitar)

    D         D7        G          D
I'm tired and weary, forgotten and blue

     D        E7          A7
With only one question in mind

    D            D7             G          D
How long, oh how long, till I'm back home again

         D               A7       D
With the sweetheart that I left behind

      G                    D
I'm a heartsick soldier on Heartbreak Ridge

 D              E7       A7
Across from the river of sighs

          G                          D
Where the shells burst around me and cover the sound

     D           A7            D
Of a poor lonely heart when it cries

         D      D7          G          D
Does the girl I love know I miss her tonight

        D       E7          A7
And how often I mention her name

         D          D7           G            D
Does she know how I long for the sound of her voice

        D            A7         D
And the love letters that never came

      G                    D
I'm a heartsick soldier on Heartbreak Ridge

 D              E7       A7
Across from the river of sighs

          G                          D
Where the shells burst around me and cover the sound

     D           A7            D
Of a poor lonely heart when it cries

        D          D7          G          D
Will my prayers be answered on Heartbreak Ridge

         D          E7            A7
Will the one that I love still be true

     D             D7      G       D
Does she count the hours until I return

   D                A7        D
My poor heart could rest if I knew

      G                    D
I'm a heartsick soldier on Heartbreak Ridge

 D              E7       A7
Across from the river of sighs

          G                          D
Where the shells burst around me and cover the sound

     D           A7            D
Of a poor lonely heart when it cries
