[Verse 1]
G         G
Hear that lonesome whippoorwill
   G                     G7
He sounds too blue to fly
    C                 G
The midnight train is whining low
                    D7      G
And I'm so lonesome I could cry

[Verse 2]
        G
Did you ever see a night so long
     G                    G7
When time goes crawling by
    C              G
The moon just went behind a cloud
            D7       G
To hide her face and cry

[Verse 3]
    G
The silence of the fallin’ star
       G              G7
Lights up a purple sky
    C           G
And as I wonder where you are
       G        D7      G
I'm so lonesome I could cry

[Verse 4]
        G
Did you ever see a robin weep
     G                  G7
When leaves begin to die
     C                   G
That means he's lost the will to live
       G        D7      G
I'm so lonesome I could cry

[Verse 5]
G
Hear that lonesome whippoorwill
   G                     G7
He sounds too blue to fly
    C                 G
The midnight train is whining low
                    D7      G
And I'm so lonesome I could cry
       G        D7      G
I'm so lonesome I could cry
