E A A# B7
I'm trying to indicate how the bass line is walking up, so if you're doing I-strum-V-strum alternating bass
line on your acoustic, then this is like going I-strum-IV-IV#, and then your into your V7th chord. There's
probably other bass walks in the song that I missed, feel free to add them.
[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
E
It's after two, and it just started to rain
E
Lord the wind is blowin' like an ol' freight train
E
A distant thunder stirs me from my bed
E E A A# B7
And all those longin' memories that I once thought was dead
[Chorus]
E
Cold lonesome wind, take me back home
A7 E
Back to the country where I belong
A7 E
Help me relive, those days again
B7 E
Take me back home, cold lonesome wind
[Verse 2]
E
My dad made sure we never missed a meal
E
He worked those hours long and hard to keep up on the bills
E
My mother she meant everything to him
E E A A# B7
And it's nights like this that really start me missin' both of them
[Chorus]
E
Cold lonesome wind, take me back home
A7 E
Back to the country where I belong
A7 E
Help me relive, those days again
B7 E
Take me back home, cold lonesome wind
[Interlude]
7 bars of E walking up into 1 bar of B7 - Same as the verses
(Dope ass lap steel solo goes here)
[Chorus]
E
Cold lonesome wind, take me back home
A7 E
Back to the country where I belong
A7 E
Help me relive, those days again
B7 E
Take me back home, cold lonesome wind
[Verse 3]
E
The years have passed and we've all moved away
E
Despite of everything that's gone, we're all doin' ok
E
On certain lonesome stormy nights, I can still be found
E E A A# B7
Searching through the memories of that little oil town
[Chorus]
E
Cold lonesome wind, take me back home
A7 E
Back to the country where I belong
A7 E
Help me relive, those days again
B7 E
Take me back home, cold lonesome wind
