Long Gone Lonesome Blues

D


[Verse 1]
                            A    
I went down to the river to watch 
               D
the fish swim by
       G                            
            D N.C.        D
When I got to the river so lonesome 
I wanted to die, oh Lord
     A                           
So I jumped in the river, but the 
                   D
doggone river was dry
           G         D     
She's long gone, and now I'm 
  A        D
lonesome blue


[Verse 2]
D
I had me a woman, she couldn't be 
true

She made me for my money and she 
made me blue
  G
A man needs a woman that he can lean
 on

But my leanin' post is done left and
 gone
           G         D     
She's long gone, and now I'm 
  A        D
lonesome blue


[Verse 3]
D
She told me on Sunday she was 
checkin' me out

Long about Monday she was nowhere 
about
    G
And here it is Tuesday, ain't had no
 news
  D N.C.                   A      D
I got them gone but not forgotten 
blues
           G         D     
She's long gone, and now I'm 
  A        D
lonesome blue

[Verse 4]
                           A  
I'm gonna find me a river, one 
                D
that's cold as ice
           G                        
                    D N.C.          
D
And when I find that river, Lord, 
you know I'll pay the price, oh Lord
          A                      
I'm goin' down in it three times, 
                             D
but Lord I'm only comin' up twice
           G         D     
She's long gone, and now I'm 
  A        D
lonesome blue
