Dm7 E7 D All Alone
[Verse]
D D7 When the hoot owl toots his "tooloo", G D To the wail of the nipwick hen, D Bm And the "chingfung" chirps in the chilly night, E7 A7 It's mighty lonesome then, D D7 And it's mighty lonesome when the wind G D Howls thru the Jack pine boughs, D Man, you don't know what lonesome is Bm Till you git to herding cows.
D F#m Bm

Dm7 E7 A7 D All alone D D7 Oh, the ordinary fella, G D Gits off on a Saturday night, D Bm And he gits a chance to see his pals, E7 A Which ain't no more than right D D7 But when the saddle is your life, G D There's no time to carouse, D Man, you don't know what lonesome is Bm Till you git to herding cows.
D F#m Bm
A
Dm7 E7 A7 D By myself D D7 Now the keeper of the lighthouse G D And the sailorman at sea, D Bm And the lookout on the mountain top E7 D7 Ain't got a thing on me, G D 'Cause I got all the lonesomeness
The common law allows,
D Man, you don't know what lonesome is Bm Till you git to herding cows.

Dm7 E7 A7 D Cowboy blue D D7 Now you may often wonder G D Why a cowpoke sings so sad D He's thinking of the many things Bm In life he's never had E7 D7 No pal, no gal for company, G D Just the cattle as they browse D Man, you don't know what lonesome is Bm Till you git to herding cows.
