Hear that lonesome whip-poor-will?

He sounds too blue to fly
A                 E

When leaves begin to die?

I've never seen a night so long
E                  E7
When time goes crawling by
A                E
The moon just went behind a cloud
E        B7       E   E
To hide its face and cry.


Verse 4:
    E
The silence of a falling star
E           E7
Lights up a purple sky
A           E
And as I wonder where you are
E        B7      E   E
I'm so lonesome I could cry.
