Patty Loveless - Long Stretch Of Lonesome

  ---(capo 3rd fret)---

Intro - G - D = 4x's


(verse 1)
 G                D      
Never mind the struggle,  
       G                  D
Never mind these tears I cry,
           G                  D      
Through it all I will stay humble, 
      G               A
AS I keep a watchful eye,
           Bm      A          G    A  
For that sweeter change of fortune, 
              G 
That's closer now than it's been,
          Bm     A         G      A 
Where the, memories that haunt me, 
                  G
are gonna someday be my friend
           D              Asus-A               G - D - G - D
When that long strtch of lonesome comes to an end,


(verse 2)
    G           D          G             D
On some crazy river but I still have control,
       G           D                G                 A     
And I will not surrender I'll stay true to heart and soul,
           Bm                               G  
There's a sea of love awaiting Down at the river's end,
Bm                          G 
There I'll drown my sorrow there I'll live again,
           D               Asus-A              G - D - G - D
When that long stretch of lonesome come to an end,


(chorus)
               A                        G                 D
Oh when that long stretch of lonesome finally comes to an end,
             A                       G                 A    
My heart belonging to someone it'll never be longing again,
          Bm                                 G 
And the shadows that have dogged me Since I can't remember when,
  Bm                           G   
Finally give quarter to the sunlight on my skin,
            D                A                 G  - D  - G - D        
When that long stretch of lonesome comes to an end,



(lead chords - A - G - D - A - Bm - G - A)



(verse 3)
          Bm                                 G 
And the shadows that have dogged me since I can't remember when,
   Bm                          G    
Finally give quarter to the sunlight on my skin,
            D               A       
When that long stretch of lonesome, 
          Bm               G 
When that long stretch of lonesome,
           D                 A                 G  - D - G - D = 4x's
When that long stretch of lonesome comes to an end,
