     G    C       G
When ever my soul is lonely
     C        G
When ever I’m feeling blue
                          C         G
I start thinkin’ ’bout my blue-eyed darlin’

My heart starts pinin’ for you

                  C    G
I wanna hear that high lonesome sound
          C                G
‘Cause my sweet baby ain’t around

When my life’s got me down

I wanna hear that high lonesome sound

         G       C          G
When I’m lost in this ocean of darkness
    C                   G
Not knowing which way I should turn
                C           G
And my eyes are filled with the sadness
   F       C      G
Of knowing you’ll never return
