The Woodys High Lonesome written by Gretchen Peters
F Bb F
High in a tree on the top of the hill
C
By the light of the lonesome ol moon
F Bb Bbm
I hear the call of a lone whipporwill
F C F
Singing his mournful tune
Bb F
And it's high lonesome
F C
High lonesome heartbroken and blue
Bb F Bb
High lonesome
F C7 F C7 F
Just like I'm lonesome for you
F Bb F
Way off in the night blows an ol freight train
F C
With a roar and a ramblin fool
F Bb Bbm
My poor heart is breaking with every refrain
F C7 F
Cause it sounds just like the way I feel
Bb F
And it's high lonesome
F C
High lonesome heartbroken and blue
Bb F Bb
High lonesome
F C7 F C7 F
Just like I'm lonesome for you
F Bb F
Do you ever get weary roamin around
F C
Do you think of the sweet love we knew
F Bb Bbm
Do you ever get lonesome the way I am now
F C7 F
Lil darling I'm lonesome for you
Bb F
And it's high lonesome

High lonesome heartbroken and blue
Bb F Bb
High lonesome
F C7 F
Lil darling I'm lonesome for you

And it's high lonesome

High lonesome
