I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry by B J Thomas


Strumming is nice and steady: down, down, up, down, up


        G         Bm       Em      D
Did you hear that lonesome whippoorwill

   G          Bm      Em    D
He sounds too blue to fly

    G        G        Em      Em
The midnight train is winding low

          G         D       G    Bm   Em   D
And I'm so lonesome I could cry


        G    Bm    Em       D
Did you ever see a night so long

     G         Bm       Em   D
When time goes crawling by

    G         G      Em       Em
The moon just went behind the clouds

          G         D       G    Bm   Em   D
And I'm so lonesome I could cry


        G    Bm    Em    D
Did you ever see a robin weep

     G      Bm       Em    D
When leaves begin to die

     G          G        Em      Em
That means he's lost the will to live

          G         D       G    Bm   Em   D
And I'm so lonesome I could cry


     G      Bm   Em      D
The silence of a falling star

       G    Bm     Em    D
Lights up a purple sky

    G    G      Em        Em
And as I wonder where you are
 
      G         D       G
I'm so lonesome I could cry


Bm     Em      D
Yeaaah I could cry

        G  Bm
I could cr-y

Em      D
I could cry

        G  Bm
I could cr-y

Em      D
I could cry

        G
I could cry
