Chords for Hank Williams 100th Birthday Tribute

_ _ _ _ I was riding [C] number nine, [F] heading south [C] from Carolina.
I heard that long, [G] long, long, long whistle [C] blow.
_ _ Got in trouble, had to roam, left [F] my gal and left [C] my home.
I heard that long, [G] long, long, long, long [C] whistle blow.
_ _ Just a [F] kid acting smart, I went and broke my darlin's heart.
I guess I was too young [G] to know.
_ _ _ They took me [C] off to Georgia, Maine, locked me [F] to [C] a ball and chain.
I heard that long, [G] long, long, long whistle [C] blow.
_ _ All I do is sit and cry when [F] that evening [C] train rolls by.
I heard that long, [G] long, long, long whistle [C] blow.
_ _ All alone, I bear the shame, cause [F] I'm a number and [C] not a name.
I heard that long, [G] long, long, long [C] whistle blow. _ _ _
I'll be [F] locked here in a cell until my body's just a shell.
And my hair turns whiter [G] than snow.
_ _ I'll [C] never see that girl of mine, cause [F] I'm in Georgia [C] doing time.
I heard that long, [G] long, long, long [C] whistle blow.
_ _ I heard that long, [Em] long, _ _ long, long whistle [Cm] _ blow. _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ Hear _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
that _ lonesome _ _ whippoorwill, he sounds too blue to fly. _
_ [C] _ [F] That _ midnight train, [C] he's whining low.
And I'm so _ [G] lonesome I [C] could cry. _
_ _ Did you _ ever see a night so long, when time was crawling by? _ _
_ [F] The moon just went _ [C] behind the clouds to _ [G] hide his face [C] and cry. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
Did you _ ever hear a _ robin weep when _ leaves had gone to die? _ _
Like [F] me, he's lost [C] his will to live.
And I'm so [G] lonesome I [C] could cry. _ _ _
_ Silence of a falling star, light up a purple sky. _ _ _
[F] And as I [C] wonder where you are, well I'm so [G] lonesome I [C] could cry.
_ [F] _ I'm [C] so [G] lonesome I [C] could cry.
[F] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _
[C] I'm a rolling stone, _ _ _ all alone and lost. _
_ For this life of sin, _ _ _ I've paid [G] the cost.
_ _ When I pass [F] by, _ well the people [C] say, _ _
It's just another guy _ [G] _
on a lost [C] highway. _
_ Just a deck of cards _ and a jug of wine.
_ _ And a woman's lies _ makes a life like [G] mine. _ _
On the day [F] we met, _ _ I went [C] astray. _
_ Lord, I paid the cost _ [G] on a lost highway.
_ _ Now boys, don't start _ to ramble around. _ _
On this road of sin, _ _ you'll be sorrow [G] bound. _
_ Take my _ [F] advice, _ [C] you'll curse the day.
_ _ [F] Before you put your [C] end down _ [G] _ on that lost [C] highway.
_ _ _ [F] _
Paid the cost _ [G] _
on a lost [C] highway. _ _
