Long Gone Lonesome Blues Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G]
[D][G]

[Verse 1]
I went [G]down to the
river to watch the fish swim by
But I [C]got to the river so lonesome
I wanted [G]to die...oh Lord!
And then I [D]jumped in the river,
but the river [G]was dry

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

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

[Verse 4]
He's [G]long [C]gone,
an[G]d now I'm l[D]onesome b[G]lue
He told me on Sunday he
was checkin' me out
Long about Monday he
was nowhere about
And [C]here it is Tuesday, ain't had no news
I [G]got them gone but not
for[D]gotten [G]blues
He's long [C]gone,
and [G]now I'm [D]lonesome [G]blue

[Outro 1]
[G][C][G]
[D][G]
