[Verse 1]
I know [D]what you're schem[G]ing.[D]
[G]can[F] pla[G]y a[D]ny [G]key you want.[D]
I an E and this is a [G]Hank [D]Williamson.
I don't know the name of it,
it's a slow one.
Have you heard that
lonesome whippoorwill?
Well, sounds too blue to fly
Well, the [G]midnight train is [D]whining low
I'm so lonesome [A]I c[D]ould cry
[A]Have you [D]ever seen a robin weep
when leaves begin to die?
Well, [G]that means he's lost the will [D]to live
I'm so lonesome [A]I could c[D]ry
[Am]Have [A]you [D]ever seen a night so long,
when time goes crawling by?
[F]Well, [G]the moon just went
behind [D]the cloud
I'm so lonesome [A]I could c[D]ry
[A]Well, [D]silence of a falling star
splits through the purple sky
Well, [G]I just lost the [D]one I love
I'm so lonesome, [A]I could c[D]ry
[D]
