[Verse 1]
F Bb F
Every time it rains Lord I run to my window
C7
All I do is ring my hands and moan
F Bb F
I listened to that thunder roar; Can you hear the lonesome wind moan
C7 F
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
[Chorus]
F Bb F
Tell me baby why you been gone so long; been gone so long now
C7
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
F Bb F
Wolf was scratchin at my door; I can hear the lonesome wind moan
C7 F
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
[Verse 2]
F Bb F
Someone said they thought they saw you roaring down in Reno
C7
With a little girl from San Antone
F Bb F
They tell I'm a fool to cry for you but what do they know
C7 F
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
[Chorus]
F Bb F
Tell me baby why you been gone so long; been gone so long now
C7
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
F Bb F
Wolf was scratchin at my door; I can hear the lonesome wind moan
C7 F
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
[Verse 3]
F Bb F
Nothin’ I wanna do so I guess I could get stoned
C7
Let that past paint pictures in my head
F Bb F
Kill a fifth of Thunderbird and try to write a sad song
C7 F
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
[Chorus]
F Bb F
Tell me baby why you been gone so long; been gone so long now
C7
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
F Bb F
Wolf was scratchin at my door; I can hear the lonesome wind moan
C7 F
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
[Outro]
C7 A
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
