I Cast A Lonesome Shadow

Intro:
Am  E  Am  F  E  Am


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

Am                               
He's always by my side at night 
E           Am
no matter where I go
Continues after the ad
Am                           E   
He lurks out in the darkness or 
          Am
in the neon's glow
C                                 
           F
 E
He follows me across the steps and 
up and down the hall
Am                                
                      E
 Am
And I cast a lonesome shadow on 
these lonely,  lonely walls

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

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

Am                             E 
I cast a lonesome shadow on these
              Am
 lonely,  lonely walls
