Long Gone Lonesome Blues Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D][A][G]

[Verse 1]
I went [D]down to the river
to watch the fish swim by;
But I [G]got to the river so lonesome
I wanted to die..., [A]Oh [D]Lord!
And then I [A]jumped in the river,
but the [G]doggone river was [D]dry.[Dm]
[D]She's long gon[G]e,
and [D]now [A]I'm lonesome [D]blue.

[Verse 2]
I [D]had me a woman who 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]leanin' post is
done [A]left and [D]gone.
She's long [G]gone,
and [D]now [A]I'm lonesome [D]blue.

[Interlude 1]
[D][A][G][D]

[Verse 3]
I'm gonna [D]find me a river,
one that's cold as ice.
And when I [G]find me that river,
Lord I'm gonna pay the price, [D]Oh Lord!
I'm goin' [A]down in it three times,
but [G]Lord I'm only comin up [D]twice.
She's long [G]gone,
and [D]now [A]I'm lonesome [D]blue.

[Verse 4]
She [D]told me on Sunday she
was checkin' me out;
Long about Monday she was
nowhere about.
And [G]here it is Tuesday, ain't had no news.
I [D]got them gone but not for
[A]gotten [D]blues.
She's long [G]gone,
and [D]now [A]I'm lonesome [D]blue.
[G][D]
