I Cast A Lonesome Shadow

Am     Am

[Verse 1]
      Am                           
Every evening when the sun goes 
    D        E     Am
down I sit here in my room
        Am                         
And the lamplight streaming over me
    D        E      Am
 projects my lonely gloom
   C                    F         
My counterpart in agony mocks each
           E
 tear that falls
Am                            
And I cast a lonesome shadow on 
        D       E      Am
these lonely, lonely walls

[Verse 2]
     Am                            
He's always by my side at night no 
D      E       Am
matter where I go
   Am                           D 
He lurks out in the darkness or in
     E      Am
 the neon's glow

   C                               
He follows me across the steps and 
F               E
up and down the hall
      Am                       
And I cast a lonesome shadow on 
       D       E      Am
these lonely, lonely walls

[Verse 3]
  Am                               
I sit and watch the candle and the 
D       E      Am
flicker of the flame
   Am                              
My writhing shadow twists and turns
    D         E     Am
 as though it is in pain
    C                        F    
I'm trying to escape the memory my
         E
 heart recalls
      Am                       
And I cast a lonesome shadow on 
       D       E      Am
these lonely, lonely walls

[Verse 4]
    Am                         D  
The image of a love I lost and all
     E          Am
 the things I'd planned
       Am                        D
Are as empty as this bottle that I
      E     Am
 hold in my hand
   C                               
My soul is buried in the depths of 
F                  E
love and life's pitfalls
      Am                       
And I cast a lonesome shadow on 
       D       E      Am
these lonely, lonely walls

lonely, lonely walls
