Call Me Lonesome

INTRO: D

#1.
D
For my name just call me lonely and 
my past,
              A
just say it's bad.

But the story I'm about to tell you 
may sound
         D
a little sad.

Well, I never had nothin', all I 
ever owned
    G
was pain.
      A                            
I was about to lose myself and then
       D
 I met Mary.

CHORUS:
D
Whoa, my darlin', oh, my darlin' oh,
 my darlin'..
                                 G
darlin', don't fall in love with me.
             A
Cause I will only make you lonely, 
lonely just
     D
like me.

CHORUS:
D
Oh, my darlin', oh, my darlin' oh, 
my darlin'..

darlin', oh, my darlin', can't you 
G
see, just say
A
goodbye, I'll understand dear, and 
walk away from
D
me.

D
But my darlin' she wouldn't listen, 
she said, boy,
          A
shut your mouth.

If two people love each other, they 
should try to
        D
work it out.
D
So, I listened to my darlin' and my 
life was filled
     G             A
with glee, but one night at a party,
 some bad luck
        D
came to me.

#3.
D
There was a guy dancin' with my 
darlin' and as he
                      G            
danced her across the floor, I 
    A
heard a scream and I
ran to him because it was my Mary's 
D
voice.

He was holdin' to my Mary and I 
begged him to let
    G
her be.
            A
All I could hear was my Mary cryin' 
because he placed
             D
his knife in me.

CHORUS:
D
Oh, my darlin', oh, my darlin' oh, 
my darlin'..
darlin',  darlin', don't you cry for
 G
 me.
            A
Although my fate just wouldn't wait 
to show me my
D
destiny.

CHORUS:
D
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, I'm 
not afraid, I will
             G
go where I'm led.
    A
God bless you for standin' by me, 
and God bless you for
       D
lovin' me.
