Cold Lonesome Wind

E      A   A#   B7
I'm trying to indicate how the bass 
line is walking up, so if you're 
doing I-strum-V-strum alternating 
bass
line on your acoustic, then this is 
like going I-strum-IV-IV#, and then 
your into your V7th chord. There's
probably other bass walks in the 
song that I missed, feel free to add
 them.

[Intro]
E

[Verse 1]
     E
It's after two, and it just started 
to rain
        E
Lord the wind is blowin' like an ol'
 freight train
  E
A distant thunder stirs me from my 
bed
         E          E      A   
And all those longin' memories 
A#   B7
that I once thought was dead

[Chorus]
              E
Cold lonesome wind, take me back 
home
              A7               E
Back to the country where I belong
          A7                E
Help me relive, those days again
             B7                 
Take me back home, cold lonesome 
 E
wind

[Verse 2]
   E
My dad made sure we never missed a 
meal
   E
He worked those hours long and hard 
to keep up on the bills
   E
My mother she meant everything to 
him
         E                    
And it's nights like this that 
 E      A   A#   B7
really start me missin' both of them

[Chorus]
              E
Cold lonesome wind, take me back 
home
              A7               E
Back to the country where I belong
          A7                E
Help me relive, those days again
             B7                 
Take me back home, cold lonesome 
 E
wind


[Interlude]
7 bars of E walking up into 1 bar of
 B7 - Same as the verses
(Dope ass lap steel solo goes here)

[Chorus]
              E
Cold lonesome wind, take me back 
home
              A7               E
Back to the country where I belong
          A7                E
Help me relive, those days again
             B7                 
Take me back home, cold lonesome 
 E
wind

[Verse 3]
    E
The years have passed and we've all 
moved away
   E
Despite of everything that's gone, 
we're all doin' ok
   E
On certain lonesome stormy nights, I
 can still be found
E                      E      A  
Searching through the memories of
 A#   B7
 that little oil town

[Chorus]
              E
Cold lonesome wind, take me back 
home
              A7               E
Back to the country where I belong
          A7                E
Help me relive, those days again
             B7                 
Take me back home, cold lonesome 
 E
wind
