I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry
Performed by:  Hank Williams
(Alternate chording from original)
3/4 time

INTRO: INSTRUMENTAL
C      C       G7       C
I'm so lonesome I could cry


VERSE ONE / VOCALS

C          Em      Am        C
Hear that lonesome whip-poor-will
C            Em      Gm7   C7
He sounds to blue to fly
     F        Fm       C      Am
The midnight train is whining low
        C      G7       C
I’m so lonesome I could cry.


VERSE TWO / VOCALS

C          Em     Am        C
I've never seen a night so long
C              Em      Gm7  C7
When time goes crawlin’ by
    F         Fm      C        Am
The moon just went be-hind the clouds 
   C         G7       C
To hide it’s face and cry


VERSE THREE / VOCALS

C            Em    Am    C
Did you ever see a robin weep
C           Em       Gm7   C7
When leaves begin to die?
      F         Fm       C       Am
That means he’s lost the will to live
        C      G7       C
I'm so lonesome I could cry.


INSTRUMENTAL : PLAY OVER VERSE ONE BELOW



INSTRUMENTAL : VERSE ONE

C          Em      Am       C
Hear that lonesome whip-poor-will
C            Em      Gm7    C7
He sounds to blue to fly
     F        Fm      C       Am
The midnight train is whinin’ low
        C      G7       C
I’m so lonesome I could cry.


VERSE FOUR / VOCALS

C           Em   Am      C
The slience of a falling star
C           Em     Gm7    C7
Lights up a purple sky
    F     Fm    C         Am
and as I wonder where you are
        C      G7       C
I'm so lonesome I could cry

TAGG
             C      G7       C
and, I'm so lonesome I could cry



NOTE: The spelling of whip-poor-will  
comes from the original pages of Hank.
So,you can spell it however you want..nemo

i like this chord arrangement. its like takin all those lead notes played on top of
the straight cords, and turning it into new
chords that sound pretty cool. especially if
ya are playin by yourself.
good job.

Good job on this tab. This is actually a pretty fun song
to play along with. I didn't really expect it from Clay
Aiken. hehe Thanks for posting it!
