Waylon Jennings – Lonesome Onry And Mean (Guitar)

               D             C         G    D
On a Greyhound bus, Lord I'm travelin' this morning

             G                            D
I'm goin' to Shreveport and down to New Orleans

                     G                           D
Been travelin' these highways, been doin' things my way

                    C       G           D
It's been making me lonesome, on'ry and mean

                     D             C        G D
Now her hair was jet black and her name was Codeine

                        G                         D
She thought she was the cream of the Basin Street Queens

        G                        D
She got tired of that smokey-wine dream

              C       G           D
Began to feel lonesome, on'ry and mean

         D             C      G      D
We got together and we cashed in our sweeps

              G                                   D
Gave 'em to a beggar who was mumblin' through the streets

            G                            D
There's no escaping from his snowy white dream

             C       G           D
Born lookin' lonesome, on'ry and mean

                     D                C      G      D
Now I'm down in this valley where the wheels turn so low

          G                      D
At dawn I pray to the Lord of my soul

           G                 D
I say dear Lord, do right by me

                            C       G           D
You know I'm tired of being lonesome, on'ry and mean...
