Intro 1

Verse 1
D 
Lonesome
G 
water's rushing in around my feet
D 
G 
D 
But I don't care if I drown
There was a time I reached for the sky,
G 
it was futile,
D 
G 
D 
G 
D 
so I  just stopped tryin'
Old sailors told me fairy tales
about a ship of love
G 
D 
would always stand by me
Like a silly fool I took their word
G 
D 
and now I'm slowly sinking
I thought these things over
C 
and still I don't know why
G 
A 
I never could find peace of mind
D 
And I'm lonesome,
C 
G 
D 
got a long way to go
C 
G 
D 
G 
D 
Quaker girls and diamond kings,
I've known them all
G 
D 
and they're very patronizing.
They'll try to tell you everything,
G 
D 
they even think they know what
G 
D 
G 
D 
life means
I'm going on a lonesome voyage,
this is what I want,
G 
D 
so don't stop crying
The sea is rough and the going's tough
G 
D 
But these oceans are only
G 
D 
in my mind
I've thought these things over
C 
And still I don't know why
G 
I never could find peace of mind
A 
D 
And I'm lonesome
C 
G 
D 
Got a  long way to go
