[Verse 1]
E A D A
Last night when I felt so lonely and so blue
A D
I was playing that old time blues
A E
The blues of old Calahan.
A D A
Well, he was born in Kentucky, far away
D
He would be soon the famest man
A E A
Kentucky ever knew.

[Chorus]
A
I took my guitar and my old country fiddle
D A E
Played me a song of the old Calahan.
A
He once was a star in the days of the union
D A E A
We all know him as the old Calahan.

[Verse 2]
E A D A
Well, he was poor with no penny to his name
A D
There was sorrow and there was pain
A E
But no-one was to blame.
A D A
He went to town, just a guitar in his hands
D
He made fortune and he got fame
A E A
At last he made the grade.

[Chorus]
A
I took my guitar and my old country fiddle
D A E
Played me a song of the old Calahan.
A
He once was a star in the days of the union
D A E A
We all know him as the old Calahan.

[Verse 3]
E A D A
Last night when I felt so lonely and so blue
