C C/B Am7 Am7/G
Hear that lonesome whippoorwill;
C Em Gm7 C7
He sounds too blue to fly..
F Fm C Am
The midnight train is whining low
G C G7 C G Am7 G/B
I'm so lonesome I could cry.
I've never seen a night so long,
When time goes crawling by;
The moon just went behind a cloud;
I'm so lonesome I could cry.
Did you ever see a Robin weep
When leaves begin to die?
That means he's lost the will to live;
I'm so lonesome I could cry.
The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple sky;
And as I wonder where you are,
I'm so lonesome I could cry.
