Poncho's Lament

     G+G        D MajorD       G+G  Bm7Bm7
Well the stairs sound so lonely without you
               C majorC
And I ain't made my bed in a week
           D MajorD     G+G    E minorEm
Coffee stains on the paper I'm writing
    A augmentedA       A augmentedA     D MajorD
And I'm too choked up inside to speak

      G+G       D MajorD        G+G   Bm7Bm7
And Yes, I know our differences pulled us apart
              C majorC
Never spoke a word heart to heart
       D MajorD      G+G   E minorEm
And I'm glad that you're gone
   A augmentedA      D MajorD          G+G
But I wish to the lord that you'd come home

And I'm glad that you're gone         |
Got the feeling so strong           |
And I'm glad that you're gone         | chorus
But I wish to the lord that you'd come home  |

Well my guitar still plays your favorite song
though the strings have been outta tune for some time
Every time I strum a cord, I pray out to the lord
That you'll quit your honkey-tonkin' sing my song

chorus

So I'll throw another log onto the fire
And I'll admit I'm a lousy liar
As the coals die down and flicker
I hear that guitar picker
Play the song we used to sing so long ago

chorus

And I'm glad, damn glad you're gone
Got the feeling so strong
And I'm glad that you're gone
   A augmentedA      D MajorD          C majorC E minor 7Em7 Am7Am7 G+G
But I wish to the lord that you'd come h o m e
