Song 2 Also in Key of D without a G
Long, lonesome day
D A7
The lady walks away.
D
She holds her head down toward the ground.
A7
To the lady I say:
D
Your life is passing away…
A7
Lift up your eyes…
D
Take the clouds from the sky.
D A7
The lady stops walking…
D
Turns to me to speaks her mind:
A7
To a lady don’t say
D
her life is passing away.
A7
Lift not her spirit
D
with a word-she won’t hear it.
A7
The lady would walk away,
D
but I was young and I was wild.
A7
Oh, lady, hear me.
D
Your heart just wants to be.
A7
There’s no wisdom or rhyme
D
in your bottle of wine.
D A7
The lady turns again
D
with a look and a frown.
A7
I’m just what you see-
D
grown hollow like a tree,
A7
if you follow me you’ll lose me.
D
I’m too lonesome if I’m not free.
D A7
So to this lady don’t’ say:
D
her life is passing away.
A7
You can’t take me home
D
when my heart wants to roam.
A7 D
Just get out of my way.
A7
You leave me alone!
D A7
To the lady I say
D
have yourself a hell of a day.
Have yourself a hell
A7
of a long
D
lonesome day.

I’ll learn this tonight. I thought of doing something like this (tab-style), but you did it. Bravo!
I hope you master the tab-style that you need. Thanks for reading.
I only noticed the chords at the end. This is a very compelling poem. I can’t lose it, so it sticks! I would love to hear it sung with guitar.Mine has been needing strings for years!
Rae, I am happy the chords did not distract from the words. I am more than a little proud that it sticks with you. Thanks…
I love the final verse!
Gaby, this was done in a hurry as I tried to capture it yesterday morning. I’m glad the final verse has your vote of approval.
I enjoy!
