C                            F         C
Every time it rains Lord I run to my window
                                  G7
All I do is just ring my hands and moan
 C                                 F                       C  
Listen to that thunder roar can't hear that lonesome wind moan
                   G7                    C
Tell me baby, now why you been gone so long?

                                        F
Tell me baby, now why you been gone so long?
        C
You been gone so long now
                   G7
Tell me baby, now why you been gone so long?

        C
The wolf is scratchin' at my door, Lord
                F                       C
Lord, well, I hear that lonesome wind moan
                  G7                C
Tell me baby, why you been gone so long?


F                                   C
Somebody said they thought they saw you roaring down in Reno
                              G7
With a big ole man from San Antoine
  C                                  F                      C
They tell me I'm a fool to pine for you, well, what do they know
                     G7               C
Tell me baby, now why you been gone so long?

  C                                    F
Tell me baby, now why you been gone so long
  C         F
You been gone so long now

   C                                   G7
Tell me baby now why you been gone so long
   C
The wolf is scratchin' at my door Lord
                    F                C
Lord and I can hear that lonesome wind moan
                      G7                C
Tell me baby now why you been gone so long

   C                             F                 C
Ain't nothin' I wanna do Lord I guess I could get stoned
                                   G7
Let the past paint pictures in my head
   C                               F                C
Kill a fifth of Thunderbird and try to write a sad song
                     G7                 C
Tell me baby, now why you been gone so long
                                        F
Tell me baby, now why you been Gone So Long
