Tom: Am
Am F G Am
[Verse]
Am
I've been sittin' here alone in the darkness,
G
With the sound of goodbye ringin' in my head.
Am
I don't know how much longer I can, go on like this,
F G Am F G Am
I'm about as lonesome as it gets, just about as lonesome as it gets.
[Verse]
Am
For a long time now we've been, drifting apart,
G
I should have been glad to see you go.
Am
But now that it's over and you're on a silver jet,
F G Am F G Am
I'm about as lonesome as it gets, just about as lonesome as it gets.
[Chorus]
F Am
If it rained straight whiskey, forty days and nights,
C Am
It wouldn't be enough to numb this hurt I feel.
F Am
Or keep this lump that's in my throat, from chokin' me to death,
C E N.C. Am
I'm about as lonesome as it gets, just about as lonesome as it gets.
[Interlude]
Am Am Am Am Am G Am Am Am Am F G Am Am F G Am Am Am Am
[Verse]
Am
When they dig, a six foot hole in the ground,
G
And throw the dirt over me.
Am
Just let these words mark, my final place of rest,
F G Am F G Am
This is as lonesome as it gets, damn sure as lonesome as it gets.
[Chorus]
F Am
If it rained straight whiskey, forty days and nights,
C Am
It wouldn't be enough to numb this hurt I feel.
F Am
Or keep this lump that's in my throat, from chokin' me to death,
F E N.C. Am
I'm about as lonesome as it gets, just about as lonesome as it gets.
[End]
F G Am F G Am
I'm about as lonesome as it gets, just about as lonesome as it gets.
