                          If today...

     G       C/g            G          C/g  G
If today was not an endless highway, *)
     G         C/g           G
If tonight was not a crooked trail,
   C/g      D/f#          C/g       G
If tomorrow wasn't such a long time,
     C/g                 D/f#              C/g G
Then lonesome would mean nothing to you at all.

         C/g        D/f#              C/g  G
Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin',
   C/g              D/f#           C/g     G
if I could hear her heart a-softly poundin',
         C/g     D/f#          C/g   G
Yes, and only if she was lyin' by me,
    C/g . . .     D7/f# . . .     C/g  G | C/g  G | C/g   G | G
I'd lie     in my bed       once again.
