Merle Haggard – Why Should I Be So Lonely (Guitar)

            E                          F#
Oh, the moonlight so bright makes me lonely tonight

       B                         E      B7
Everything seems to make me feel blue, dear

       E                     F#
I'm downhearted now, I'm lonesome somehow

         B               E     B7
'Cause you are proving untrue

     E            C#7     F#  F#7
But why should I be so lonely?

 B                  E  E7
Why should I be so sad?

          A         A#dim7     E  C#7
Though another is taking from me

      F#                  B   B7
The best pal that I ever had

        E
She's taking the sunshine with her

        E7                  A   F#m
And leaving the clouds for me

      A          A#dim7 E    C#7
But why should I be so lonesome

      F#              B           E
When there's nobody lonesome for me?

    E                    F#
The violets so blue are calling for you

     B                     E   B7
The roses so sweet make me lonely

     E                  F#
They bring to my mind a sweet happy time

     B              B7       E    B7
When your love was only for me

      E           C#7    F#  F#7
But why should I be so lonely?

  B                E    E7
Why should I be so sad?

          A         A#dim7     E  C#7
Though another is taking from me

      F#                  B   B7
The best pal that I ever had

       E
She's taking the sunshine with her

      E7                    A   F#m
And leaving the clouds for me

     A           A#dim7 E      C#7
But why should I be so lonesome

      F#               B         E
When there's nobody lonesome for me?
