Biography:
Johnny Rivers (born John Henry Ramistella on November 7, 1942 in New York City) is an American rock and roll singer, songwriter, guitarist, and record producer.
He was versatile enough to do folk songs, blues, covers of old-time Rock n' roll songs, and some original material, all of them in his own unique style. Rivers's greatest success came in the mid and late 1960s with a string of hit songs (including "Seventh Son," "Poor Side of Town" and "Secret Agent Man") but he has continued to record and perform to the present.

#1.
Gm7 G
I do my best to hide this low down feeling.
D
I try to make believe there's nothing wrong.
Gm7
Oh, but they're always asking me about you,
C
darling.
G D G
And it hurts me so to tell them that you're gone.
#2.
G
If they ask me I guess I'd be denying, that I've
D
been unhappy all along.
Gm7
Oh, but if they heard my heart they'd hear it
C
crying.
G D G
Oh, where's my darling, when's she coming home?
CHORUS:
C
Well, I've asked myself a million times what's
G
right for me to do?
C Em
To try to lose my blues alone or hang around for
D
you.
G Gm7 C
Well, I make it pretty good until that moon comes
G D G
shining through, and then I get so doggone lonesome.
#3.
Gm7 G
Well, time stands still when you're a-waiting.
Gm7 D
Sometimes I think my heart is stopping, too.
Gm7 C
You know one lonely hour seems forever.
G D G
Just sixty minutes more to wait for you.
#4.
Gm7 G
Oh, but I guess I'll keep waiting 'til you're with me.
Gm7 A D
Cause I believe that loving you is right.
Gm7 C
Well, I don't care if the sun don't rise tomorrow.
G D G
If I can't have you with me tonight.
CHORUS:
C G
Well, I know I'll keep on loving you because true
love can't be killed.
C G
I know I ought to get you off my mind but I guess
D
I never will.
G C
I could have a dozen others, but I know I'd love
you still.

Cause I get so doggone lonesome.
