Verse 1:
G                 Bm              C
I've seen love go by my door, it's never been this close before
G             Bm         D
Never been so easy or so slow
G                         Bm
I've been shooting in the dark too long,
   C
when something isn't right it's wrong
G                    D                 G
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go.

Verse 2:
G                Bm         C
Dragon clouds so high above, I've only known careless love,
G           Bm                D
It's always hit me right from below
G                         Bm
But this time around it's more correct,
C
right on target, so direct,
G                    D                 G
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go.

Verse 3:
G              Bm                 C
Purple clover, Queen Anne's lace, crimson hair across your face,
G                 Bm               D
You could make me cry if you don't know
G                         Bm
Can't remember what I was thinkin' of,
  C
you might be spoilin' me too much love,
G                    D                 G
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go.

Chorus:
D                                 G
Flowers on the hillside, bloomin' crazy
D                                  G
Crickets talkin' back and forth in rhyme
A
Blue river runnin' slow and lazy
Cadd9                          D
I could stay with you forever, and never realize the time.

Verse 4:
G               Bm         C
Situations have ended sad, relationships have all been bad
G                 Bm             D
Mine've been like Verlaine's and Rimbaud
G                    Bm
But there's no way I can compare
C
all those scenes to this affair
G                    D                 G
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go.

G D C C  G G Bm  G G Cadd9 G D G

Chorus:
D                                    G
You're gonna make me wonder what I'm doin'
D                          G
Stayin' far behind without you
A
You're gonna make me wonder what I'm sayin'
Cadd9                              D
You're gonna make me give myself a good talkin' to.

Verse 5:
G                        Bm       C
I'll look for you in old Honolula, San Francisco, and Ashtabula
G                    Bm             D
You're gonna have to leave me now, I know.
G                       Bm
But I'll see you in the sky above,
       C
in the tall grass, and in the ones I love,
G                    D                 G
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go.

in the tall grass, and in the ones I love,

You're gonna make me lonesome when you go.

You're gonna make me lonesome when you go.
