Verse 1 
G           C       G 
Whenever my soul is lonely 
C                    G 
whenever I'm feelin' blue 
                          C         G 
I start thinkin' 'bout my blue eyed darlin' 
       F            C          G 
and my heart starts pinin' for you 

                  C             G 
I wanna hear that high lonesome sound 
          C                 G 
'cause my sweet baby ain't around 
        C             G 
when my life's got me down 
                  F    C        G 
I wanna hear that high lonesome sound

When I'm lost in this ocean of darkness 
    C                          G 
not knowin' which way I should turn 
                C               G 
and my eyes are filled with the sadness 
   F              C     G 
of knowin' you'll never return
