Cold Gray Light Of Gone
Vince Gill, With “The McCoury Band”

(Intro: F-Bb-F-C-F)

F                        Bb              F
I woke up this morning, long before the dawn 
                                              C
I stumbled to the kitchen and put some coffee on 
 F                                   Bb           F
The house was deathly quiet, I knew something was wrong 
                                     C                 F
Then suddenly it dawned on me, The cold gray light of gone 


(Chorus) 

F                                           Bb                 F
No there's nothin' quite as lonely, As the cold gray light of gone 
                                 G            C
Waking up and finding out she's never coming home 
 F                                      Bb              F
The note that said it's over, Lord it chills me to the bone 
                                             C                 F
No there's nothin' quite as lonely, As the cold gray light of gone 

(Short Instrumental: F-C-F)
                                     Bb                F
O I've sat and cried for hours and I tried to clear my head 
                                                   C
I even went and laid back down on her side of the bed 
 F                                       Bb             F
Her perfume lingered on the sheets, Our love once laid upon 
                                    C                  F
Her memory's destroying me, In the cold gray light of gone 

(Repeat Chorus)  
(Instrumental: F-Bb-F-C-F-Bb-F-C-F) - (Same As Verse)
(Repeat Chorus)
                                            C                  F 
No there's nothin' quite as lonely, As the cold gray light of gone
