"At the End of a Long Lonely Day" Written by Marty Robbins Performed by Don Edwards on "West of Yesterday" Submitted by Diron A., [email protected] This is a very good heartache song. Play it with a simple, slow "pick, strum, pick, strum" technique.
[Verse] DGD At the end of a long lonely day without you, A7D When the world seems to fall in my face. DGD I'm all right through the day, but the day fades away, A7D And the long lonely night takes its place.
[Chorus 1] A7GD Another day to wish that you were here, A7GD I dread each lonely night that's filled with fear. DGD Oh, I've cried and I've cried these are tears that I can't hide, A7D At the end of a long lonely day.
[Verse] DGD At the end of the day, I go up to my room, A7D And I watch while the sun fades away. DGD And the lonliness there brings me grief and dispair, A7D At the end of a long lonely day.
[Chorus 2] A7GD Another day to sit alone and cry, A7GD It makes no difference if I live or die. DGD With a world locked outside I just lay there and cry, A7D At the end of a long lonely day.
