[Verse 1]
G G Well, today has been a sad and lonesome day, C G yeah, today has been a sad and lonesome day; D G I'm just sitting here thinking with my mind a million miles away.
[Verse 2]
G G Well, they're doing the double shuffle, throwing sand on the floor, C G they're doing the double shuffle, they're throwing sand on the floor; D G when I left my longtime darling, she was standing in the door.
[Verse 3]
G G Well, my pa he died and left me, my brother got killed in the war, C G well, my pa he died and left me, my brother got killed in the war; D G my sister, she ran off and got married, never was heard of anymore.
[Verse 4]
G G Samantha Brown lived in my house for 'bout four or five months, C G Samantha Brown lived in my house for 'bout four or five months; D G don't know how it looked to other people, I never slept with her even once.
[Verse 5]
G G Well, the road washed out, weather not fit for man or beast, C G well, the road's washed out, weather not fit for man or beast; funny, D G the things you have the hardest time parting with are the things you need the least.
[Verse 6]
G G Well, I'm forty miles from the mill, I'm dropping it into overdrive, C G I'm forty miles from the mill, I'm dropping it into over - drive; D G set my dial on the radio I wish my mother was still alive.
[Verse 7]
G G I seen your lover man comin', comin' across the barren fields, C G I see your lover man comin', comin' 'cross the barren fields; he not a D G gentleman at all, he's rotten to the core, he's a coward and he steals.
[Verse 8]
G G Well, my captain, he's decorated, he's well-schooled and he's skilled, C G my captain, he's decorated, he's well-schooled and he's skilled; D G he's not sentimental, don't bother him at all; how many of his pals have been killed.
[Verse 9]
G G Last night the wind was whispering, I was trying to make out what it was, C G last night the wind was whispering something, I was trying to make out what it was. D G Yeah, I tell myself something's coming, but it never does.
[Verse 10]
G G I'm going to spare the defeated, I'm going to speak to the crowd, C G I'm going to spare the defeated, 'cause I'm going to speak to the crowd; D G I'm going to teach peace to the conquered, I'm going to tame the proud.
[Verse 11]
G G Well, the leaves are rustling in the wood, things are falling off of the shelf, C G leaves are rustling in the wood, things are falling off the shelf; D G you're gonna need my help, sweetheart, you can't make love all by yourself.
