intro
MIm/SOL MIm/FA# DO/MI - DO/RE DO
I've seen love go by my door, it's never been this close before
SOL SOL RE/LA RE/LA
It's never been so easy or so slow
MIm/SOL MIm/FA DO/MI - DO/RE DO
I've been shooting in the dark too long, when something's not right, it's wrong
SOL RE/FA# SOL SOL
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
Purple clover, Queen Anne's Lace, crimson hair across your face
You could make me cry if you don't know
I don't remember what I was thinking of, you might be spoiling me with too much
love, honey
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go

There are dragon clouds so high above, I have only known careless love
It always hit me from below
But this time 'round it's more correct, it's right on target and so direct
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
RE/FA# RE/FA# SOL SOL
Flowers on the hillside blowing crazy
RE/FA# RE/FA# SOL SOL
Crickets talking back and forth in rhyme
LA7 LA7sus4(6) LA7 LA7
Blue river running slow and lazy
LAm7 LAm7 RE/FA# RE/FA# RE/FA# RE/FA# RE/FA# RE/FA#
I could stay with you forever, and never realize the time
But situations have ended sad, relationships have all been bad
Mine have been like Verlaine's and Rimbaud's
But there's no way I can compare all them scenes with this affair, honey
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
Oh, you're gonna make me wonder what I'm doing
Staying far behind without you
You're gonna make me wonder what I'm saying
You're gonna make me give myself a good talking to
I will I look for you in Honolulu, San Francisco, Ashtabula
You're gonna have to leave me now, I know
But I'll see you in the skies above, in the tall grass and the ones I love
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
You're gonna make me lonesome
