I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry

• Ebm

Different than the other versions of this song, this is my fave.
There's a few instrumental bits to work out, and some nice chord changes. Here's the 
basics as far as I can hear... comments welcome.

The lyrics below are as on the Pretty In Black album.
A whip-poor-will is a nightjar bird.

Ebm 668876
B   224442
F#  244322
Db  446662


Ebm
Hear that lonesome whip-poor-will
Ebm
He sounds too blue to fly
    B                 F#
The midnight train is winding low
       Db               Ebm
I'm so lonesome I could cry

Ebm
Have you e'er seen a night so long
Ebm
When time goes crawling by
    B                 F#
The moon just went behind the clouds
   Db                 Ebm
To hide its tears and cry

Ebm
Did you e'er see a robin weep
Ebm
When leaves begin to die
     B                   F#
That means he's lost the will to live
       Db               Ebm
I'm so lonesome I could cry


Bridge:
Ebm  F#   B   F#  Ebm


Ebm
The silence of a falling star
Ebm
Lights up a purple sky
    B           F#
And as I wonder where you are
       Db               Ebm
I'm so lonesome I could cry
