Long Gone Lonesome Blues Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]I went down to the river
to watch the fish swim by
And when I [G]got to the river,
so lonesome I wanted to [D]die
Hold on
And then I [A]jumped in the river,
but the darkened river was [D]dry
She's a long [G]gone [D]now I'm [A]old to [D]go
I had me a woman, she couldn't be true
She made me for my money
and she made me blue
A [G]man needs a woman
that he can lean on
But my [D]lean post is just
[A]left out and [D]gone
She's a long, [G]long, long,
[D]long, long roa[A]d to go.[D]
Settle down, [G]John.[D][G]
[A][D]
I'm gonna find me a river,
one that's cold as ice
And when I [G]find me that river,
Lord, I'm gonna pay the [D]price
I don't know I'm going
[A]down in it three times
But Lord, I'm only coming up [D]twice
She's long [G]gone [D]now I'm
[A]long to [D]go[G][D][G]
[D][G][A][D]
She told me on Sunday
she was checking me out
Along about Monday
she was nowhere about
And [G]here it is Tuesday,
ain't had no news
I've [D]got them home,
but not for[A]gotten [D]blue
She's long [G]gone [D]now
I [A]wrote some [D]blue
She's long [G]gone [D]now
I [A]wrote some [D]blues

[Outro 1]
