Lovesick Blues by Hank Williams Sr.
Key of Cmaj
Tabbed by Mike Benson
Note: I like to strum this song using a swing rhythm and while doing that using my thumb
make a bass line either sol(5) up to do(1) or do(1) down to fa(4) creating this kind of
shuffle.  It makes your strumming a little more interesting.

This is a good version of the live recording, Except the above mentioned Bb Maj in place of all the Eb Maj and the bridge is also wrong, listen and you can hear the changes, is goes A-Dm-A-Dm-A-Dm-G-C up to "Lord I've tried..." where it's correct again. A Dm Well I'm in love, I'm in love with a beautiful gal, A Dm That's what's the matter with me A Dm I'm in love, I'm in love with a beautiful gal, G C But she don't care about me. (C7 works good here) Lord I've tried and I've tried ... correct after that part
