  			verse 1 

F         Fmaj7    F       Fmaj7 
Hear that lonesome whippoorwill 
   F          Fmaj7   F7 
He sounds too blue to fly 
     Bb                F 
That midnight train is whining low 
                C       F    C 
I'm so lonesome I could cry 

verse 2 

        F    Dm    Am       Dm 
Did you ever see a night so long 
     F 
When time goes crawling by 
    Bb             F 
The moon just went behind a cloud 
            C        F    B7 C#7 
To hide its face and cry

Did you ever see a robin weep

When leaves began to die 
   B          Bm       F#      D#m 
It means he's lost the will to live

I'm so lonesome I could cry

    G       Gmaj7 G6     G  
The silence of a falling star 
       Gmaj7   G6     G7  Am Bm      
Lights up    a purple sky 
    C    F      Bm        Em 
And as I wonder where you are 
       G        D   D7  Cadd9 Am  G 
I'm so lonesome I could cry
