I Wonder Where You Are Tonight
Music and Lyrics by Johnny Bond
As performed by John Hartford
Gum Tree Canoe
Banjo tuned E, Capo 3, Key E
[Verse]
E A E
Tonight I'm sad, my heart is weary
A E
I'm wondering if I'm wrong or right
A E
Although you've gone and found another
B7 E
I wonder where you are tonight
[Chorus]
E A E
That old rain is cold and slowly fallin'
A E
Upon my window pane tonight
A E
And tho' your love was even colder
B7 E
I wonder where you are tonight
E A E
Your heart was cold, you never loved me
A E
Tho' you said you often cared
A E
And now you've gone and found another
B7 E
Someone who knows the love I shared
[Chorus]
E A E
That old rain is cold and slowly fallin'
A E
Upon my window pane tonight
A E
And tho' your love was even colder
B7 E
I wonder where you are tonight
[Bridge]
E A E
Then came the dawn that day you left me
A E
I tried to smile with all my might
A E
But you could see the pain within me
B7 E
That lingers in my heart tonight
[Chorus]
E A E
That old rain is cold and slowly fallin'
A E
Upon my window pane tonight
A E
And tho' your love was even colder
B7 E
I wonder where you are tonight)
