Hank Williams – Long Gone Lonesome Blues (Guitar)

       E
I went down to the river to watch the fish swim by;

      A                                        E N.C.     E
But I got to the river so lonesome I wanted to die..., oh Lord!

           B7                                             E
And then I jumped in the river, but the doggone river was dry.

      E    A         E       B7       E
She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue.

  E
I had me a woman who couldn't be true.

  A
A man needs a woman that he can lean on,

       E                    B7       E
But my leanin' post is done left and gone.

      E    A         E       B7       E
She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue.

          E
I'm gonna find me a river, one that's cold as ice.

           A                                          E N.C.    E
And when I find me that river, Lord I'm gonna pay the price, oh Lord!

          B7                                                  E
I'm goin' down in it three times, but Lord I'm only comin' up twice.

      E    A         E       B7       E
She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue.

    E
She told me on Sunday she was checkin' me out;

    A
And here it is Tuesday, ain't had no news.

  E                        B7     E
I got them gone but not forgotten blues.

      E    A         E       B7       E
She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue.
