Lonley Feeling by Cross Canadian Ragweed written by Robert Earl Keen style of Cross Canadian Ragweed album: Back to Tulsa; Live and Loud at Cain's Ballroom Capo on 5th fret. I use C instead of Cmaj7...it just sounds better to me that way. E-------------------3-| B-------------------3-| G-------------------0-| D-------------------2-| A--------0--2--3----3-| E--3--3---------------| G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 It’s a long stretch of highway at midnight in New Mexico G Cmaj7 D It’s a small colored light that shines from your car radio Cmaj7 G It’s the old motel owner who sleeps on a cot Cmaj7 D And gives you the very last hit from her pot G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 It’s a lonely feeling it’s what you’ve got G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 It’s a lonely feeling like it or not G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 It’s a crack in the sidewalk right next to a pay telephone G Cmaj7 D It’s someone’s recorder when hoping that someone is home Cmaj7 G It’s an hour to kill to do what you please Cmaj7 D But nobody’s up for just shooting the breeze G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 It’s a lonely feeling it’s like a disease G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 It’s a lonely feeling you pray that it leaves G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 It’s your best friend from high school who sees you and wishes you well G Cmaj7 D You try to break through but you run outta stories to tell Cmaj7 G So you bid him goodbye and you step into space Cmaj7 D There’s so many questions that you cannot face G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 It’s a lonely feeling taking his place G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 It’s a lonely feeling you just can’t erase G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 It’s three men from Chile who are tired and they wanna go home G Cmaj7 D They’ve run outta money and they’re stuck up in East Oregon Cmaj7 G So you give them the small bit of change from your hand Cmaj7 D You try to speak Spanish but they don’t understand G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 It’s a lonely feeling it gets to a man G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 It’s a lonely feeling that runs through the land G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 It’s a statue of Jesus that your grandmother had when she died G Cmaj7 D All cracked and all yellow and you know you should throw it aside Cmaj7 G But you’re growing religious the older you get Cmaj7 D You haven’t been saved but it could happen yet G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 It’s a lonely feeling full of regret G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 It’s a lonely feeling won’t let you forget G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 It’s a bus stop, a street cop, an old dog, the new kid, a bum G Cmaj7 D It’s fright and rejected, neglected the blind deaf and dumb Cmaj7 G But you look in the mirror and you’re still hanging in Cmaj7 D It’s there to remind you how lucky you’ve been G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 It’s a lonely feeling now and again G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 It’s a lonely feeling that comes from within. www.TAB6.com
