Chords for Shawn Phillips sings "Hey Miss Lonely" at the PPT in 2009

_ _ _ _ _ Okay, _ [B] this next tune, _ I [G] stopped singing _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _ this [G] _
_ _ _ [C] song for a very [N] long time, _ because _ maybe _ 35 [Bb] years ago or so,
_ I _ [B] _
was singing this [N] tune, and I was opening the shows [B] with this song, [G] _
[Abm] and I flew from London [B] to _ _ Toronto,
_ and it was the first gig on the floor, _ and it was a [Bbm] club called the Riverboat, [C] and I [Ebm] got there,
and they announced me, [Eb] and I went on the stage, and I was starting [F] the set with this song, and I [G] _ went_
_ [B] _ _
_ _ [Eb] _and
I [F] _ [Gm] _ _
[G] _ _ [B] suddenly realized I'd fallen asleep. _
I thought to myself, hey man, you know, when you [Eb] fall asleep at the beginning of the tune, it's time to stop playing the tune.
[B] _ _ _ [F] Or when you're playing the song, and you're [B] thinking about what you're going to get for dinner, it's also [G] time to stop playing the tune.
So [B] I quit for almost 20 years, but I [F] started again, this song is called [G] Hey, Miss Lonely.
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [A] Hey, _ _ _ [G] _ _
[Bm] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [Bm] _ [F] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ [G] _ Miss Lonely, [B] I want you to listen to the [C] music that I have in that single, it's got a great sound to [A] it.
Looking at the moon, [G] [Eb] feeling [Gb] pretty perfect, say you're my [E] dearest love, yeah.
_ Hey, Miss Lonely, do you [F] know _ where you [D] are?
_ [G] Oh, I know, hey, Miss Lonely, _ [Ebm] everything's cool, [Gm] everything's happening, [C] everything you care [A] about.
_ _ _ [G] _ _
[Gb] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ Hey, Miss Lonely, don't [F] you know, _ you're worth [D] everything, everything you [G] care about.
Hey, Miss Lonely, [B] I [Gb] know your dreams [B] are [C] sad, and they're gonna die in the black, [E] it's just a [F] passing [E] fad.
[G] Well, it's quite a [Gb] problem, gotta work to [E] see how I'm gonna die.
Take your hand, bring it to me, and I'll be there for you.
[D] Hey, Miss [F] Lonely, you're such a wonderful thing, you don't care [D] what you're like.
Hey, [G] Miss Lonely, _ _ _ I [C] say, baby, we fought [B] through this, fought a little bit,
[A] but we're not [Abm] quite that way, we're [Gb] just sort of in the [C] same line.
[G] I'm so dizzy, [B] I'm a bad boy, [C] don't you know [D] that you can't come [G] to me?
I'm [B] a bad boy, [C] don't you know [G] that you can't come to me?
I'm [B] a bad [C] boy, don't you know [Bm] that you can't come [G] to me?
Hey, sit down, [B] don't you ever wanna scream and [Em] shout,
and speak about all the wrong [E] things you've seen my day.
[G] You've got [Gb] to remember that you're [E] part of the day.
Hey, [A] _ Miss Lonely, you [F] can stay, _ [C] [D] don't go away.
[G] Well, now, hey, Miss Lonely, [B] don't you feel the [C] pain?
I can't spend my cash and I'm talking this [A] trash,
and I think I'm gonna miss the train.
[G] _
[D] Even though you're going to Morocco [Em] over in the spring.
[A] _
And then, so lonely, don't [F] forget your cane.
[Ab] You remember the [D] rain, rain, [G] rain, cause you're feeling very lonely.
[B] And then, you said to me, man,
yeah, [C] but you ain't need bread, bread now, my [A] heart is no more there.
[G] _ [D] Cause [Bm] I'm gonna [E] be sure.
_ _ [A] _ And then, so lonely, nobody [F] is pure.
_ [D] Nobody is pure.
Have [A] fun, you two.
[G] _ _ _ _ [N] _ Yeah, _ _ _ _ _ _ _
good one. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
