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
 
    C        Cm       G       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
 
    C         Cm   G          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
 
     C          Cm       G       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
 
    C    Cm     G         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
