Standard (EADGBE)

 The winds through the night is blowing so lonesome

 Singing to me a song

 A whippoowill call is just a reminder

 Pretty girls have hearts made of stone

 I'll wake with the blues at dawn

[G/f#]

 My darling Cora is gone

 I don't know why she told me goodbye

[G/f#]

 But my darling Cora is gone my darling Cora is gone

 The ring that she wears I bought for her finger

 Purchased her ring so fine

 Gave her my last green back dollar

 And now she's left me behind

 I'll wake with the blues at dawn

[G/f#]

 My darling Cora is gone

 I don't know why she told me goodbye

[G/f#]

 But my darling Cora is gone my darling Cora is gone

 Drifting alone like brush on a river

 Caring not where I roam

 Going to live in the deep forest

 Dark hollow will be my new home

 I'll wake with the blues at dawn

[G/f#]

 My darling Cora is gone

 I don't know why she told me goodbye

[G/f#]

 But my darling Cora is gone my darling Cora is gone
