[Verse 1]
        G                               G
Well, today has been a sad and lonesome day,
        C                               G
yeah, today has been a sad and lonesome day;
                 D                                           G
I'm just sitting here thinking with my mind a million miles away.

              G                                              G
Well, they're doing the double shuffle, throwing sand on the floor,

they're doing the double shuffle, they're throwing sand on the floor;
                        D                                G
when I left my longtime darling, she was standing in the door.

         G                                                    G
Well, my pa he died and left me, my brother got killed in the war,

well, my pa he died and left me, my brother got killed in the war;
               D                                              G
my sister, she ran off and got married, never was heard of anymore.
 
[Verse 4]
         G                                              G
Samantha Brown lived in my house for 'bout four or five months,
               C                                          G
Samantha Brown   lived in my house for 'bout four or five months;

don't know how it looked to other people, I never slept with her even once.
 
[Verse 5]
          G                                           G
Well, the road washed out, weather not fit for man or   beast,
                 C                                        G
well, the road's   washed out, weather not fit for man or beast; funny,
                        D                                                     G
the things you have the hardest time parting with are the things you need the least.
 
[Verse 6]
                G                                             G
Well, I'm forty miles from the mill, I'm dropping it into overdrive,
          C                                                G
I'm forty miles from the mill, I'm dropping it into over -   drive;
       D                                             G
set my dial on the radio I wish my mother was still alive.
 
[Verse 7]
            G                                                  G
I seen your lover man comin', comin' across the barren fields,
                 C                                    G
I see your lover man comin', comin' 'cross the barren fields; he not a
                  D                                               G
gentleman at all,   he's rotten to the core, he's a coward and he steals.
 
[Verse 8]
         G                                                    G
Well, my captain, he's decorated, he's well-schooled and he's   skilled,
                 C                                        G
my captain, he's   decorated, he's well-schooled and he's   skilled;
                 D                                                            G
he's not sentimental, don't bother him at all; how many of his pals have been   killed.
 
[Verse 9]
               G                                                     G
Last night the wind was whispering, I was trying to make out what it was,
           C                                                             G
last night   the wind was whispering something, I was trying to make out what it was.
             D                                       G
Yeah, I tell myself something's coming, but it never does.
 
[Verse 10]
             G                                             G
I'm going to spare the defeated, I'm going to speak to the crowd,
    C                                                             G
I'm going to spare the defeated, 'cause I'm going to speak to the crowd;
                   D                                             G
I'm going to teach peace to the conquered, I'm going to tame the proud.
 
[Verse 11]
                     G                                                   G
Well, the leaves are rustling in the wood, things are falling off of the  shelf,
       C                                                      G
leaves   are rustling in the wood, things are falling off the shelf;
                           D                                      G
you're gonna need my help, sweetheart, you can't make love all by yourself.
