Standard (EADGBE)
Hear the lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whining low
I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry
I never seen a night so long
When times goes crawling by
The moon just went behind a cloud
To hide it's face and cry
Did you ever see a robin weep
When leaves began to die?
Like me he's lost the will to live
I'm so lonesome I could cry
The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple sky
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry
