  			 C    Em     Am   C 
Hear that lonesome whippoorwill  
  C     Em      Gm7      C7  
He sounds too blue to fly  
  F     Fm6      C     Am  
The midnight train is whining low   
  C   G7    C      
I'm so lonesome I could cry  
C      Em      Am     C 
I've never seen a night so long  
  C     Em      Gm7   C7  
When time goes crawling by  
  F    Fm6.     C      Am  
The moon just went behind a cloud  
 C    G7     C      
I'm so lonesome I could cry  
C    Em      Am  C 
Did you ever see a Robin weep  
  C      Em     Gm7   C7  
When leaves begin to die  
  F    Fm6      C      Am  
That means he's lost the will to live                         
   C   G7     C      
I'm so lonesome I could cry  
C     Em       Am    C 
The silence of a falling star  
  C       Em      Gm7  C7  
Lights up a purple sky  
  F      Fm6   C      Am  
And as I wonder where you are  
 C   G7     C     G     
I'm so lonesome I could cry
