Charley Crockett – I Cast A Lonesome Shadow (Guitar)

      Am                               D        E     Am
Every evening when the sun goes down I sit here in my room

        Am                             D        E      Am
And the lamplight streaming over me projects my lonely gloom

   C                    F                    E
My counterpart in agony mocks each tear that falls

Am                                    D       E      Am
And I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls

     Am                            D      E       Am
He's always by my side at night no matter where I go

   Am                           D      E      Am
He lurks out in the darkness or in the neon's glow

   C                               F               E
He follows me across the steps and up and down the hall

      Am                              D       E      Am
And I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls

  Am                               D       E      Am
I sit and watch the candle and the flicker of the flame

   Am                                  D         E     Am
My writhing shadow twists and turns as though it is in pain

    C                        F             E
I'm trying to escape the memory my heart recalls

      Am                              D       E      Am
And I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls

    Am                         D       E          Am
The image of a love I lost and all the things I'd planned

       Am                        D      E     Am
Are as empty as this bottle that I hold in my hand

   C                               F                  E
My soul is buried in the depths of love and life's pitfalls

      Am                              D       E      Am
And I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls

  C               Am              F       E               Am6
I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls
