Long Gone Lonesome Blues Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
I went down to the river to watch
[D]the fish swim by;
But I got to the river so lonesome
I wanted to die, Oh Lord!
And then I [G]jumped in the river, but
the doggone river was dry.
She's long gone, and
[D]now I'm [A]lonesome [D]blue.

[Verse 2]
I [D]had me a woman who couldn't be true.
She made me for my money
and she made me blue.
A [G]man needs a woman that he can lean on,
But my [D]leanin' post is done
[A]left [D]and gone.
She's long [G]gone,
and [D]now I'm [A]lonesome [D]blue.

[Verse 3]
[D]I'm [G]gon[D]na[A][D]
[G]
[D][A]
[D]find me a river,
one that's cold as ice.
And when I find me that river,
Lord I'm gonna pay the price, Oh Lord!
I'm [G]goin' down in it three times,
but [D]Lord I'm only comin' up twice.
She's long [G]gone,
and [D]now I'm [A]lonesome [D]blue.

[Verse 4]
[D]
She told me on Sunday she
was checkin' me out
Long about Monday she
was nowhere about.
And [G]here it is Tuesday, ain't had no news.
I [D]got them gone but not
forgotten [D]blues.
She's long [G]gone,
and [D]now I'm [A]lonesome [D]blue.
