F              Bb                F
High in a tree on the top of the hill
                                C
By the light of the lonesome ol moon
F               Bb               Bbm
I hear the call of a lone whipporwill
F           C        F
Singing his mournful tune
         Bb    F
And it's high lonesome
F                             C
High lonesome heartbroken and blue
Bb   F         Bb
High lonesome
F             C7           F      C7      F
Just like I'm lonesome for you
F                    Bb                  F
Way off in the night blows an ol freight train
F                         C
With a roar and a ramblin fool
F                         Bb         Bbm
My poor heart is breaking with every refrain
         F                    C7    F
Cause it sounds just like the way I feel
         Bb    F
And it's high lonesome
F                             C
High lonesome heartbroken and blue
Bb   F         Bb
High lonesome
F             C7           F      C7      F
Just like I'm lonesome for you
F                     Bb     F
Do you ever get weary roamin around
F                                 C
Do you think of the sweet love we knew
       F                     Bb       Bbm
Do you ever get lonesome the way I am now
    F           C7           F
Lil darling I'm lonesome for you
         Bb    F
And it's high lonesome

         Bb    F
And it's high lonesome
F                             C
High lonesome heartbroken and blue
Bb   F         Bb
High lonesome
