[Verse 1]
              Am
The wind blew cold on that mountain
        Am              D     C
On the night that I was made
          Am
Pale moonlight poured on that cabin
            Am                              D     C
As shadows danced to a hoot owl's serenade

           Am
When that fire burned down to ashes
         Am                     D    C
Daddy stared out the window pane
      Am            Am
Momma knew without askin'
              Am                  D
Her travelin' man had no plans to stay
              E7                                  N.C.
And his gypsy blood's a rushin' through my veins


[Chorus]
           D       F                           G
I came out cryin', wailin' like an old freight train

Nurse tried to hold me but I just pushed her away
              D            F                  G
Momma took to prayin', doc said, "He can't be saved
           E7         G               D
Ma'am your baby boy's heart's already broken"
      C    Am
I was born lonesome

[Verse 2]
        Am
So girl try to forgive me
            Am                           D     C
If your goodbye don't send tears down my face
             Am
Whether you leave me tonight or stay here with me
             Am                     D
I'll wake up feeling empty either way
           E7          E7   N.C.
I'm at the mercy of my DNA


[Chorus]
           D       F                           G
I came out cryin', wailin' like an old freight train
               Am                 G      Am   G   Am
Nurse tried to hold me but I just pushed her away
              D            F                  G
Momma took to prayin', doc said, "He can't be saved
           E7         G               D
Ma'am your baby boy's heart's already broken"
      C    Am
I was born lonesome


[Chorus] (drawn out and quite different from the others)
           D        Am G F D D Am
I came out cryin',
                     Am
 like an old freight train  (like an old freight train)
           Am
pushed her away (like an old freight train)
                Am
Nurse tried to hold me but I just pushed her away
              D            F   G
Momma took to prayin',
                         G
doc said, "He can't be saved"  (can't be saved)
                E7            G              D
See girl, you  can't break a  heart already  broken
       C       Am     Am
I was  born  lonesome


[Otro]
             E7            G             D
No girl, you can't break a heart already broken
      N.C.
I was born lonesome
