call me lonesome Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]For my name, just call me lonely
And my past, just say it's bad
[A]But the story I'm about to tell you
May sound a little [D]sad
Well, I've never had nothing
All I ever owned was [G]me
I was [A]about to lose myself
And then I met
[D]Mary
Oh, my darling, oh, my darling,
oh, my darling
Darling, don't fall in love with me
[G]Cause I will onl[A]y make you lonely,
lonely just like [D]me
Oh my darlin', oh my darlin',
oh my darlin'
Oh my darlin', can't you see
[G]Just say goodbye[A], I'll understand it
And walk away from me
[D]But my darling, she wouldn't listen
She said, boy, shut your [A]mouth
If two people love each other
They should try to work it [D]out
So I listened to my darling
And my life was filled with glee
[G]But one nig[A]ht at a party,
some bad luck came to me
[D]There was a guy dancing
with my daughter
And he danced her across the floor
[G]I heard a scr[A]eam and I ran to him
Because it was my
Mary's [D]voice
He was holdin' to my
Mary
And I begged him to let her be
[G]All I could [A]hear was my
Mary cryin'
Because he'd placed his knife in me
[D]Oh my darlin', oh my darlin',
oh my darlin'
Darlin', don't you cry for me
[G]Although my [A]fate just wouldn't wait
to show me my [D]destiny.
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid,
I'm not afraid.
I will go where I'm [G]led.
God [A]bless you for standing by me.
And
God bless you for loving [D]me.
God [A]bless you for standing [D]by me.
