This is an acoustic cheat in standard tuning.  THIS IS NOT THE VERSION HEARD ON THE RECORDING.
That being said, even though this is meant for an acoustic, you REALLY should be playing
ALL bar chords - otherwise it still just doesn't translate well and everyone will hate
you for making the song sound like a big pile of turds. 

Enjoy.




Bb                                  Bb
Hear the lonesome whipperwill, he sounds too blue to fly
     Eb(bar)            Bb                  F               Bb
The midnight train is whining low, I'm so lonesome I could cry

   Bb                              Bb
I never seen a night so long when times goes crawling by
    Eb(bar)            Bb             F                  Bb
The moon just went behind a cloud to hide it's face and cry


     CHORUS
               G(bar)                           Cm
Well maybe the night is cold but together they fade
                      F             
Like the shadow that ran up to the hills
           Bb
Trying to fix her wings
                       G(bar)                 Cm
There's a saint and a sinner, and forever the missing day
                       F
Where the winners and losers feel the same
                  Bb
Who knows what tomorrow brings



         Bb                         Bb
Did you ever see a robin weep when leaves begin to die
     Eb(bar)              Bb                   F                Bb
That means he's lost the will to live, I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry

      Bb                       Bb
The silence of a falling star lights a purple sky
Eb(bar)        Bb                   F                Bb
And I wonder where you are, I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry



TO CHORUS than final verse:


Bb                                  Bb
Hear the lonesome whipperwill, he sounds too blue to fly
     Eb(bar)            Bb                  F               Bb
The midnight train is whining low, I'm so lonesome I could cry
        F                Bb
I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry
        F                Bb
I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry
