Song: Im So Lonesome I Could Cry Tab

Dear Cowpie,
I've found a lot of great music on your sight and I
thought I would try to make a contribution. There is a
existing transcription of this song on your sight but
it is in a different key from the original recorded
version. I tried to keep it basic and as close to the
original recording as my ears would let me.

E        
HEAR THE LONESOME WHIPERWILL
                          (FILL2)
HE SOUNDS TOO BLUE TO FLY
A                     E     
THE MIDNIGHT TRAIN IS WHINING LOW
                B7      E   (FILL1)
I'M SO LONESOME I COULD CRY

E                      
I'VE NEVER SEEN A NIGHT SO LONG
                           (FILL2)
WHEN TIME GOES CRAWLING BY
A                  E                          
THE MOON JUST WENT BEHIND A CLOUD
             B7       E   (FILL1)
TO HIDE IT'S FACE AND CRY

E                   
DID YOU EVER SEE A ROBIN WEEP
                         (FILL2) 
WHEN LEAVES BEGIN TO DIE
A                    E        
THAT MEANS HE'S LOST THE WILL TO LIVE
                B7      E   (FILL1)
I'M SO LONESOME I COULD CRY

E                     
THE SILENCE OF A FALLING STAR
                       (FILL2)                 
LIGHTS UP A PURPLE SKY
A               E      
AND AS I WONDER WHERE YOU ARE
                B7      E
I'M SO LONESOME I COULD CRY


NOTE: I LIKE TO MUTE THE BASS LINE AND FINGER PICK THE
HIGHER NOTES
