Key: Am
Introduction: Am Am Dm Dm E7 E7 Am Am
Am
Everyday he stands in the shadow
Dm
Cast down from some old star
E7
An awfully strange gallows trick
Am
Lightning bugs stuck in a jar
Am
And every day with her disaster
Dm
Striking matches all for the fun
E7
Still I wait patiently
Am
To feel the sun
Am
But when she gets lonesome
Dm
I mean real down lonesome
E7 Am
She turns to me and she says
Dm
I&rsquo m feeling lonesome
Am
I mean real down lonesome
E7
And I&rsquo m needing someone
Am
To help me through the night
Dm
Let me be your lonesome
Am
Your real low down lonеsome
E7
And I just might help you
Am
Help you feel alright
Am
Anothеr day and he still he follows
Dm
But there&rsquo s a shifting in the wind
E7
A weeping willow that&rsquo s gone hollow
Am
And he ain&rsquo t gonna bend
Dm
I&rsquo m feeling lonesome
Am
I mean real down lonesome
E7
And I&rsquo m needing someone
Am
To help me through the night
Dm
Woman you won&rsquo t know lonesome
Am
Until you walk in my shoes some
Am
No there ain&rsquo t no one
E7 Am
No one that&rsquo s gonna help you feel alright
Am
Now he walks along the bayou
Dm
Whistling in a minor key
E7
No harmony or company
Am
Not even a flicker to pursue
Dm
He&rsquo s feeling lonesome
Am
I mean real low down lonesome
E7 Am
And he&rsquo s got no one to help him through the night
Dm
I&rsquo m feeling lonesome
Am
I mean real low down lonesome
No I ain&rsquo t got no one
E7 Am
To help me through the night
Am
We ain&rsquo t got no one
E7 Am
To help us through the night
