Artist/Band: Williams Hank III Tabs
Song: Long Gone Lonesome Blues Tab
INTRO: E A E B E E
E E E E
I went down to the river to watch the fish swim by;
A A E E
But I got to the river so lonesome I wanted to die..., Oh Lord!
B B E E
And then I jumped in the river, but the doggone river was dry.
E A E B E E
She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue.
E E
I had me a woman who couldn't be true.
E A
She made me for my money and she made me blue.
A A
A man needs a woman that he can lean on,
E B* E E
But my leanin' post is done left and gone.
E A E B E E
She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue.
INSTRUMENTAL: E A E B E E
E E E E
I'm gonna find me a river, one that's cold as ice.
A A E E
And when I find me that river, Lord I'm gonna pay the price, Oh Lord!
B B E E
I'm goin' down in it three times, but Lord I'm only comin up twice.
E A E B E E
She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue.
E E
She told me on Sunday she was checkin' me out;
E E
Long about Monday she was nowhere about.
A A
And here it is Tuesday, ain't had no news.
E B* E E
I got them gone but not forgotten blues.
E A E B E E
She's long gone, and now I'm lonesome blue.
