Album: Lonesome Standard Time Submitted by: Christopher R. 8:14 AM 2/21/2005 [Intro] G G
       G
Do you feel a kindred spirit,
To the sound of pouring rain? Does your heart start to yearning'
         D
When you hear a distant train? (F - one strum)

         G
If you'd like to take that train and ride,

                   C
To someone left be hind,

          G
You don't need the wind to tell you,

          D        C        G
You're on Lonesome Standard Time. (G - one strum)

       G
Do you sit alone and think about,
An old love from the past? Do you feel a bit more empty,
      D
Ev'ry time you raise your glass? (F - one strum)

       G
If the mem'ry of his kisses,

                          C
Sends a shiver up your sp ine,

          G
You don't need a watch to tell you,

          D        C        G
You're on Lonesome Standard Time.

         C
When you hear the little sad songs,

       G
Do you hang on every word?

       C
Do you swear a cryin' fiddle,

        D
Has the sweetest sound on earth? (F - one strum)

       G
If you shudder at the music,

                    C
Of a hootowl in the pines,

          F        D        G
You're on Lonesome Standard Time.
[Fiddle Solo] (F - one strum) C G C D G C F D G
          G
There's a bigger clock a' tickin',
It crosses ev'ry zone. The first time your old heart broke,
        D
Was the time you turned it on. (F - one strum)

         G
It don't ever need a' windin',

                      C
'Cos if it works like mine,

            G
Well, there ain't no doubt about it,

          D        C        G
You're on Lonesome Standard Time.
[Repeat Chorus]
       G
If you shudder at the music,

                    C
Of a hootowl in the pines,

                                                                         G
You're on (F - one strum) Lonesome (D - one strum) Standard (N.C.) Time.
