Strumming is nice and steady: down, down, up, down, up
Did you Ghear that Bmlonesome EmwhippoorDwill
He Gsounds too Bmblue to EmflyD  
The Cmidnight Cmtrain is Gwinding Emlow
And I'm so Glonesome DI could GcryBm  Em  D  
Did you Gever Bmsee a Emnight so Dlong
When Gtime goes Bmcrawling EmbyD  
The Cmoon just Cmwent Gbehind the Emclouds
And I'm so Glonesome DI could GcryBm  Em  D  
Did you Gever Bmsee a Emrobin Dweep
When Gleaves Bmbegin to EmdieD  
That Cmeans he's Cmlost the Gwill to Emlive
And I'm so Glonesome DI could GcryBm  Em  D  
The sGilence Bmof a Emfalling Dstar
Lights Gup a Bmpurple EmskyD  
And Cas I Cmwonder Gwhere you Emare
I'm so Glonesome DI could Gcry
BmYeaaah EmI could Dcry
I could Gcr-Bmy
EmI could Dcry
I could Gcr-Bmy
EmI could Dcry
