         G        Bm       Em      D
Did you hear that lonesome whippoorwill

   G          Bm      F    G
He sounds too blue to fly

That midnight train rides alone

       G        D       Cm  Bm  Am  Cm  G

[tab]        G    Bm    Em       D
Did you ever see a night so long

     G         Bm       F    G
When time goes crawling by

    C         Cm      G       Em
The moon just went behind the cloud

       G        D       Cm  Bm  Am  Cm  G
I'm so lonesome I could cry...

Did you ever see a robin weep

     G      Bm       F     G
When leaves begin to die?

   C          Cm       G       Em
It means he's lost the will to live

I'm so lonesome I could cry...

    G        Bm    Em      D
The silence of the falling stars

       G    Bm     F     G
Lights up a purple sky

    C    Cm     G         Em
And as I wonder where you are

       G        D       Cm  Bm  Am  Cm  G
I'm so lonesome I could cry...

    C    Cm     G         Em
And as I wonder where you are

       G        D       Cm   G
I'm so lonesome I could cry...

N.C. This is a great cover of a classic song, by one of my fav bands! This tab is a simplified version: there are some minor 7s instead of plain minor chords in the recording, but they aren't necessary. ************************************ | h Hammer-on | | s slide ************************************
