[Verse 1]
D G D
Every time it rains Lord I run to my window
A
All I do is just wring my hands and moan
D G D
And listen to that thunder, Lord can't you hear the lonesome wind moan?
A D
Tell me baby now why you been gone so long?
[Chorus]
D G D
Tell me baby why you been gone so long? you've been gone so long now
A
Tell me baby why you been gone so long?
D G D
A wolf is scratching at my door, Lord, Lord And I can hear that lonesome wind moan
A D
Tell me baby now why you've been gone so long?
[Verse 2]
D G D
Somebody said they thought they saw you roarin' down in Reno
A
With a big ol' man from San Antone
D G D
They tell me I'm a fool, to pine for you but what do they know?
A D
Tell me baby now why you been gone so long?
[Chorus]
D G D
Tell me baby why you been gone so long? you've been gone so long now
A
Tell me baby why you been gone so long?

A wolf is scratching at my door, Lord, Lord And I can hear that lonesome wind moan
A D
Tell me baby now why you've been gone so long?
[Verse 3]
D G D
Ain't nothin' I wanna do Lord, so I guess I could get stoned
A
And let the past paint pictures in my head
D G D
And kill a fifth of a thunderbird Lord and try to write a sad, sad song
A D
Tell me baby now why you been gone so long?
[Chorus]
D G D
Tell me baby why you been gone so long? you've been gone so long now
A
Tell me baby why you been gone so long?
D G D
A wolf is scratching at my door, Lord, Lord And I can hear that lonesome wind moan
