Subject: As Lonesome As It Gets - Tracy Lawrence


>From the Coast is Clear CD
                                          [N/C] = No Chord

[Dm  Bb  C  Dm]

[Dm] I've been sittin' here alone in the [C] darkness
[Dm] With the sound of goodbye ringin' in my [C] head
[Dm] I don't know how much longer I can [C] go on like [Dm] this
[Bb] I'm about as [C] lonesome as it [Dm] gets
[Bb] Just about as [C] lonesome as it [Dm] gets

[Dm] For a long time now we've been [C] drifting apart
[Dm] I should have been glad to see you [C] go
[Dm] But now that it's over and you're [C] on a silver [Dm] jet
[Bb] I'm about as [C] lonesome as it [Dm] gets
[Bb] Just about as [C] lonesome as it [Dm] gets

CHORUS:

[Bb] If it rained straight whiskey, [Dm] forty days and nights
[C] It wouldn't be enough to numb this hurt I [Dm] feel
[Bb] Or keep this lump that's in my throat, from [Dm] chokin' me to death
[F] I'm about as lonesome as it [A] gets
[N/C] Just about as lonesome as it [Dm] gets  [Dm C Dm Bb C Dm Bb C Dm]

[Dm] When they dig a six foot [C] hole in the ground
[Dm] And throw the dirt over [C] me
[Dm] Just let these words mark my [C] final place of [Dm] rest
[Bb] This is as [C] lonesome as it [Dm] gets
[Bb] Damn sure as [C] lonesome as it [Dm] gets

REPEAT CHORUS:

[Bb] I'm about as [C] lonesome as it [Dm] gets
[Bb] Just about as [C] lonesome as it [Dm] gets    [Dm]
