Patty Loveless – Long Stretch Of Lonesome (Guitar)

 F               C             F                  C
Never mind the struggle, never mind these tears I cry

           F               C           F               G
Through it all I will stay humble as I keep a watchful eye

         Am                                     F 
For that sweeter change of fortune that's closer now than it's been

          Am                               F
Where the memories that haunt me are gonna someday be my friend

          C              Gadd9    G           F  C    F  C
When that long stretch of lonesome comes to an end__

F             C            F             C
On some crazy river, but I still have control

      F           C                 F                  G     
And I will not surrender, I'll stay true to heart and soul

         Am                                       F 
There's a sea of love awaiting down at the river's end

          Am                              F
There I'll drown my sorrow and there I'll live again

          C              Gadd9    G           F  C    F  C
When that long stretch of lonesome comes to an end__

              G                         F                   C
Oh, when that long stretch of lonesome finally comes to an end

           G                         F                  G    
My heart belonging to someone, it'll never be longing again

        Am                                 F 
And the shadows that have dogged me since I can't remember when

  Am                          F   
I finally give quarter to the sunlight on my skin

          C              Gadd9    G           F  C    F  C
When that long stretch of lonesome comes to an end__

        Am                                 F 
And the shadows that have dogged me since I can't remember when

  Am                          F   
I finally give quarter to the sunlight on my skin

          C              Gadd9    G  
When that long stretch of lonesome

          Am              F 
When that long stretch of lonesome

          C              Gadd9    G           F  C    F  C  
When that long stretch of lonesome comes to an end______
