              Intro: D  G  D  D  A  D 
 
    D            G        D 
The lonesome sound of a train goin' by  
      D         A      D 
Makes me want to stop and cry  
    D             G    D 
I recall the day it took you away  
    D         A      D 
I'm blue and I'm lonesome too.  
 
       A          D 
When I hear that lonesome whistle blow  
E               A 
Well I want to pack my suitcase and go  
    D            G        D 
The lonesome sound of a train goin' by  
      D         A      D 
Makes me want to stop and cry.  
 
Solo: D G D D A D (2X) 
 
       D             G      D 
In the still of the night in the pale moonlight  
    D         A          D 
The wind did blow and sigh  
      D            G           D 
These awful blues I just can't loose  
    D         A      D 
I'm blue and I'm lonesome too.  
 
       A          D 
When I hear that lonesome whistle blow  
E               A 
Well I want to pack my suitcase and go  
    D            G        D 
The lonesome sound of a train goin' by  
      D         A      D 
Makes me want to stop and cry.  
 
    D         A      D 
I'm blue and I'm lonesome too. 
    D         A      D 
I'm blue and I'm lonesome too.
