Long Gone Lonesome Blues Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
I [G]went [D]dow[G]n t[D]o t[A]he [D]river
to watch the fish swim by
But I got [G]to the river so lonesome
I wanted to [D]die, oh lord
And then I [A]jumped in the river,
but the doggone river was [D]dry
She's long [G]gone,
[D]and now [A]I'm lonesome [D]blue
I had me a woman that 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]leaning [A]post is [G]gone,
[A]left and [D]gone
She's long [G]gone
An[D]d now I'm l[A]onesome b[D]lue[G][D][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
Oh Lord, I'm going [A]down in it three times
But Lord, I'm only coming up [D]twice
She's long [G]gone
An[D]d now I[A]'m lonesome b[D]lue
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 [D]got them gone but [G]not for
[A]gotten [D]blues
She's long [G]gone
[D]An d now [A]I'm lonesome [D]blue
