INTRO: D5

D5                          G5          D5
Every time it rains Lord I run to my window
                              A5
All I do is ring my hands and moan
    D5                                       G5                 D5
The wolf is scratchin' at my door and I can hear the lonesome wind moan
             A5            G5    D5
Tell me baby why you been gone so long

CHORUS:
D5                                 G5                     D5
Tell me baby why you been gone so long you been gone so long now
                               A5
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
         D5                                      G5                 D5
Well the wolf he scratches at my door and I can hear the lonesome wind moan
             A5            G5     D5
Tell me baby why you been gone so long

Someone said they thought they saw you roarin' down in Reno

With a little girl from San Antone

They say I'm a fool to pine for you hey but what do they know

Tell me baby why you been gone so long

CHORUS

Nothin' I wanna do oh I guess I could get stoned

And let that past paint pictures on my head

I could kill a fifth of Thunderbird, write myself a sad song

Tell me baby why you been gone so long

CHORUS
D5            A5            G5       D5
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
