Capo 1st Fret

D - D7 - G7 - D - A7 - D

D 	   	   G 	      D
High in a tree on top of the hill
D 	  	     D7 	  	  A7
By the light of the lonesome ol' moon 
D 	     	      G
I hear the call of a lone whipporwill
D 	     A7       D
Singing his mournful tune

D 	  	  	    G 	  	     D
Way off in the night blows the long freight train
D 	  	   D7 	     A7
With a roar and a rUmble of wheels 
D 	  	  D7 	        G
My poor heart is breaking with every refrain
D 	  	   	   A7    D
'cause it sounds just the way I feel

D7 	    G    D
And it's a high lonesome
D 	       D7 	       A7
High lonesome heartbroken and blue
       G    D
It's a high lonesome
G    D 	  	  A7 	       D
Lil' darling I'm lonesome for you

D - D7 - G7 - D - A7 - D

D 	  	 D7    G 	        D
Do you ever get weary roamin' around
D 	  	     D7 	  	   A7
Do you think of the sweet love we knew
D 	  	 D7 	      G
Do you ever get lonesome the way I am now
D 	  	  A7 	       D
Lil' darling I'm lonesome for you

D7 	  G    D
And it's high lonesome
D 	       D7 	       A7
High lonesome heartbroken and blue
       G    D
It's a high lonesome
G    D 	  	  A7 	       D
Lil' darling I'm lonesome for you
D7     G    D
It's a high lonesome

Lil' darling I'm lonesome for you
