#1.
G                 Em       G       D
Did you hear that lonesome Whippoorwill..
Gbm G          Bm   D  G  G7 
he  sounds too blue to fly?
    C                 G       D
The midnight train is winding low and I'm 
   G         D       G   Bm Em D
so lonesome, I could cry.

#2.
        G    Bm    Em       D          G
Did you ever see a night so long, when time 
     Bm       D
goes crawlin' by?
G   C                G    D Em
The moon just went behind a cloud, and I'm 
   G         D       G   Bm Em D
so lonesome, I could cry.

#3.
        G    Bm    Em    D          G
Did you ever see a Robin weep, when leaves 
  Bm     G   G7
begin to die?
     C                   G    D  Em
That means he's lost the will to live, and I'm 
   G         D       G   Bm Em D
so lonesome, I could cry.

#4.
    G       Bm   Em      D           G    Bm
The silence of a fallin' star lights up a purple 
G   G7
sky.
    C           G         Em          G
And as I wonder where you are, I'm so lonesome, 
D       G
I could cry.

OUTRO:
D     Em      D            G     Bm  Em      D
Yeah, I could cry..I could cry-y-y,  I could cry..
        G     Bm  Em      D            G
I could cry-y-y...I could cry, I could cry..(Fade.)
