[Verse 1]
ODn a greyhound bus, Lord CI'm trGaveling this moDrning,
I'm going to ShrGeveport and on down to New OrleDans,
Been driving these hGighways, been doing things Dmy way,
It's been making me lCadd9onesome, oGn'ry and mDean,
[Verse 2]
NDow her hair was jet black, and her nCame wGas CodDiene,
Thought she was the crGeam of the Basin Street quDeens,
She got tGired of that smokey whine Ddream,
Began to feel lCadd9onesome, oGn'ry and mDean,
D  C G D  G  D  G  D  Cadd9  D
[Verse 3]
WDe got together, and we cCashed in oGur sweDeps,
Gave them to a bGeggar who was mumbling through the strDeets,
There's no escGaping from his snowy white drDeams,
Born lookin' lCadd9onesome, oGn'ry and meDan,
[Verse 4]
NDow I'm down in this valley, where the whCeels tGurn so Dlow,
At dawn I pray, to tGhe Lord of my soul,D  
I say do Lord, do rGight by me,D

I'm tired of being lonesome, on'ry and mean,
