[Verse 1]
G                                         G Em
Standing on the roadside, head held in my hands
Em                                           C
Rain falls hard on the ground 'round where I stand
G                                     D
Headlights shinin' about half a mile away

[Chorus]
D                             Em                                 G
It's been a long and lonesome day, it's been a long and lonesome day

[Verse 2]
G                                             G Em
Cars on the highway, they're dark against the sky
Em                                                C
And they're never going my way, they only pass me by
G                                            D
Tomorrow's such a long time to go from yesterday

[Chorus]
D                             Em                                 G
It's been a long and lonesome day, it's been a long and lonesome day

[Verse 3]
G                                G Em
Waitin' on a hillside, here I am again
    Em                                              C
I'd love to catch a ride, stick my thumb out in the wind
G                                              D
Shouldn't look behind me, 'cause it don't ever pay

[Chorus]
D                             Em                                      G
It's been a long and lonesome day, yeah it's been a long and lonesome day

Em     D     C

It's been a long and lonesome day, yeah it's been a long and lonesome day
