Hank Williams - Long gone lonesome blues

I went ^Cdown to the river to watch the fish swim by; But I ^Fgot to the river so lonesome I wanted to ^G7die..., oh ^Clord! And then I ^G7jumped in the river, but the doggone river was ^Cdry. shes ^Clong ^Fgone, and now ^CIm ^G7lonesome ^Cblue.

I ^Chad me a woman who couldnt be true. She made me for my money and she made me blue. A ^Fman needs a woman that he can lean on, But my ^Cleanin post is done ^G7left and ^Cgone. Shes ^Clong ^Fgone, and now ^CIm ^G7lonesome ^Cblue.

Im gonna ^Cfind me a river, one thats cold as ice. And when I ^Ffind me that river, lord Im gonna pay the ^G7price, oh ^Clord! Im goin ^G7down in it three times, but lord Im only comin up ^Ctwice. Shes ^Clong ^Fgone, and now ^CIm ^G7lonesome ^Cblue.

She ^Ctold me on sunday she was checkin me out; Long about monday she was nowhere about. And ^Fhere it is tuesday, aint had no news. I ^Cgot them gone but not for^G7gotten ^Cblues. Shes ^Clong ^Fgone, and now ^CIm ^G7lonesome ^Cblue.
