Songs For My Own Enjoyment: I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry

G D7 G G 

G         Bm       Em7      Bm    

Hear that lonesome whippoor-will  

   G          Bm      Dm7 G7 

he sounds too blue to fly   

    C                 G       Em   

The midnight train is whining low  

       G        D7      G   D7 

I'm so lonesome I could cry   

     G     Bm     Em7      Bm    

I've never seen a night so long  

     G         Bm       Dm7 G7 

when time goes crawling by   

    C                 G      Em     

The moon just went be-hind a cloud  

   G        D7       G   D7 

to hide its face and cry   

        G    Bm    Em7   Bm    

Did you ever see a robin weep  

     G         Bm     Dm7 G7 

when leaves be-gan to die   

     C                   G       Em    

That means he's lost the will to live  

       G        D7      G    

I'm so lonesome I could cry  

    G       Bm   Em7     Bm    

The silence of a falling star  

       G    Bm     Dm7 G7 

lights up a purple sky   

    C           G         Em    

And as I wonder where you are,  

       G        D7      G   F7 

I'm so lonesome I could cry   

    C           G         Em    

And as I wonder where you are,  

       G        D7      G    

I'm so lonesome I could cry
