Different than the other versions of this song, this is my fave.
There's a few instrumental bits to work out, and some nice chord changes.
Here's the basics as far as I can hear... comments welcome.
 
The lyrics below are as on the Pretty In Black album.
A whip-poor-will is a nightjar bird.

Intro: Ebm
 
Ebm
Hear that lonesome whip-poor-will 
Ebm
He sounds too blue to fly 
    B                 F#
The midnight train is winding low 
                Db      Ebm
I'm so lonesome I could cry 
 
Ebm
Have you e'er seen a night so long 
Ebm
When time goes crawling by 
    B                 F#
The moon just went behind the clouds 
            Db        Ebm
To hide its tears and cry 
 
Ebm
Did you e'er see a robin weep 
Ebm
When leaves begin to die 
     B                   F#
That means he's lost the will to live 
                Db      Ebm
I'm so lonesome I could cry 
 
 
Bridge:
Ebm  F#   B   F#  Db  Ebm
 
 
Ebm
The silence of a falling star 
Ebm
Lights up a purple sky 
    B           F#
And as I wonder where you are 
                Db      Ebm
I'm so lonesome I could cry
