Flatt & Scruggs – Cora Is Gone (Guitar)

    C                        F          C
The winds through the night blowing so lonesome

                G
Singing to me a song

    C                   F       C
A whippoorwill call is just a reminder

                  G              C
Pretty girls have hearts made of stone

     F                      C
I'll wake with the blues at dawn

   F                C
My darling Cora is gone

             C7      F          C
I don't know why she told me goodbye

               G       C
But my darling Cora is gone

C                         F               C
The ring that she wears I bought for her finger

                       G
Purchased her ring so fine

C                F          C
Gave her my last green back dollar

               G        C
And now she's left me behind

     F                      C
I'll wake with the blues at dawn

   F                C
My darling Cora is gone

             C7      F          C
I don't know why she told me goodbye

               G       C
But my darling Cora is gone

C                   F          C
Drifting alone like brush on a river

                   G
Caring not where I roam

C             F            C
Going to live in the deep forest

                 G         C
Dark hollow will be my new home

     F                      C
I'll wake with the blues at dawn

   F                C
My darling Cora is gone

             C7      F          C
I don't know why she told me goodbye

               G       C
But my darling Cora is gone
