[D] [A7] [D] [D]
[D] Hear that [F#m] lonesome [Bm7] whippoor-[F#m]will
he [D] sounds too [F#m] blue to [Am7] fly [D7]
The [G] midnight train is [D] whining [Bm] low
I'm so [D] lonesome [A7] I could [D] cry [A7]
I've [D] never [F#m] seen a [Bm7] night so [F#m] long
when [D] time goes [F#m] crawling [Am7] by [D7]
The [G] moon just went be-[D]hind a [Bm] cloud
to [D] hide its [A7] face and [D] cry [A7]
Did you [D] ever [F#m] see a [Bm7] robin [F#m] weep
when [D] leaves be-[F#m]gan to [Am7] die [D7]
That [G] means he's lost the [D] will to [Bm] live
I'm so [D] lonesome [A7] I could [D] cry [C7]
The [F] silence [Am] of a [Dm] falling [Am] star
lights [F] up a [Am] purple [Cm7] sky [F7]
And [Bb] as I wonder [F] where you [Dm] are,
I'm so [F] lonesome [C7] I could [F] cry [F7]
And [Bb] as I wonder [F] where you [Dm] are,
I'm so [F] lonesome [C7] I could [F] cry.
