call me lonesome chords by Arthur Alexander
Verse 1
D
For my name, just call me lonely
And my past, just say it's bad
A
But the story I'm about to tell you
D
May sound a little sad
Well, I've never had nothing
G
All I ever owned was me
A
I was about to lose myself
And then I met
D
Mary
Oh, my darling, oh, my darling,
oh, my darling
Darling, don't fall in love with me
G
A
Cause I will only make you lonely,
D
lonely just like me
Oh my darlin', oh my darlin',
oh my darlin'
Oh my darlin', can't you see
G
A
Just say goodbye, I'll understand it
And walk away from me
D
But my darling, she wouldn't listen
A
She said, boy, shut your mouth
If two people love each other
D
They should try to work it out
So I listened to my darling
And my life was filled with glee
G
A
But one night at a party,
some bad luck came to me
D
There was a guy dancing
with my daughter
And he danced her across the floor
G
A
I heard a scream and I ran to him
Because it was my
D
Mary's voice
He was holdin' to my
Mary
And I begged him to let her be
G
A
All I could hear was my
Mary cryin'
Because he'd placed his knife in me
D
Oh my darlin', oh my darlin',
oh my darlin'
Darlin', don't you cry for me
G
A
Although my fate just wouldn't wait
D
to show me my destiny.
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid,
I'm not afraid.
G
I will go where I'm led.
A
God bless you for standing by me.
And
D
God bless you for loving me.
A
D
God bless you for standing by me.
call me lonesome
