[Verse 1]
        G                     
Well, today has been a sad and

lonesome day,
        C

          G
lonesome day;
                 D                 
I'm just sitting here thinking with
                          G
 my mind a million miles away.

[Verse 2]
              G               
Well, they're doing the double 
                               G
shuffle, throwing sand on the floor,
                  C              
they're doing the double shuffle, 
                              G
they're throwing sand on the floor;
                        D          
when I left my longtime darling, 
                      G
she was standing in the door.

[Verse 3]
         G                         
Well, my pa he died and left me, my
                           G
 brother got killed in the war,
               C                   
well, my pa he died and left me, my

               D              
my sister, she ran off and got 
                                G
married, never was heard of anymore.

[Verse 4]
         G                         
Samantha Brown lived in my house 
                     G
for 'bout four or five months,

don't know how it looked to other 
people, I never slept with her even 
 G
once.

[Verse 5]
          G                        
Well, the road washed out, weather 
                   G
not fit for man or   beast,
                 C            
well, the road's   washed out, 
                            G
weather not fit for man or beast; 
funny,
                        D          
the things you have the hardest 
time parting with are the things you
       G
 need the least.

[Verse 6]
                G                  
Well, I'm forty miles from the 
mill, I'm dropping it into

I'm forty miles from the mill, I'm 
                        G
dropping it into over -   drive;
       D                           
set my dial on the radio I wish my 
                  G
mother was still alive.

[Verse 7]
            G                      
I seen your lover man comin', 
                            G
comin' across the barren fields,
                 C                 
I see your lover man comin', comin'
                   G
 'cross the barren fields; he not a
                  D                
gentleman at all,   he's rotten to 
the core, he's a coward and he 
G
steals.

[Verse 8]
         G                       
Well, my captain, he's decorated, 
                             G
he's well-schooled and he's   
skilled,

my captain, he's   decorated, he's

                 D                 
he's not sentimental, don't bother 
him at all; how many of his pals 
          G
have been   killed.

[Verse 9]
               G                   
Last night the wind was whispering,
 I was trying to make out what it 
G
was,
           C                       
last night   the wind was 
whispering something, I was trying 
   G
to make out what it was.
             D                 
Yeah, I tell myself something's 
                      G
coming, but it never does.

[Verse 10]
             G                     
I'm going to spare the defeated, 
                        G
I'm going to speak to the crowd,
    C                           
I'm going to spare the defeated, 
'cause I'm going to speak to the

                   D           
I'm going to teach peace to the 
conquered, I'm going to tame the 
 G
proud.

[Verse 11]
                     G             
Well, the leaves are rustling in 
the wood, things are falling off of 
  G
the  shelf,
       C                           
leaves   are rustling in the wood, 
                           G
things are falling off the shelf;
you're gonna need my help, 
D                                 
sweetheart, you can't make love 
     G
all by yourself.
