Chords for The Auctioneer Song / So Lonesome I Could Cry (Featuring Jim Stafford)

[N] He loves that.

Well, we have a young lady in the [Gb] show.
I think this young lady [Bb] is terrific.
[Dm] And I gotta tell you [F] something, she's a beautiful girl,
she has a great voice, and she has a good [E] heart.
Friends, let's make her [Gb] welcome.
This is Lauren Heapner.
Come [E] on out here, Lauren.
Hey, thanks, Jim.
Hello, kid.
Well, I'm gonna bring my band out here
with me on this song.
That's right, we got Phillip down here on the guitar.
On the upright bass, we have Justin,
and behind me on the drums, we got Ed.
Can we make him feel welcome, folks? _ _ _ _
_ There [B] was a boy in [A] Arkansas who wouldn't listen to his mom
[B] when she told him that he should go to school.
_ _ [E] He'd sneak away in the afternoon [A] and take a walk,
and pretty soon [B] he'd wind up at the local [E] auction _ barn.
[A] But he sat and listened carefully,
and [B] pretty soon he began to see
how [Db] they actually make their stocks so [B] rapidly. _ _
[E] He said, oh my, it's a do or [A] die,
I'm gonna have to learn that auction cry.
I've gotta [B] make my mark and be an [E] _
_ auctioneer.

Oh, time went on, he did his [Bb] best,
and all could see he did [C] not just be practiced,
going to bids [F] both night and day.
_ He's back, we're finding behind the barn,
It's [Bb] working up and all [C] the stories
try to imitate the [F] _ auctioneer.
[Bb] Waste that's a loan we just [F] can't stand
to have a mediocre man sitting there
and auction [C] using our good [Am] name.
[F] I'll send you off to auction [Bb] school
and there you'll be [C] nobody's fool
and you can take the place [F] no longer _ theirs.
Putti pon putti pon [Bb] putti pon putti pon putti pon putti pon [C] putti pon putti pon putti pon [F] putti pon putti pon putti pon putti pon putti.

[G] _ _ _ Yeah, I broke that phone, I went to school
[C] that poor man [D] played it cool
he came back home before Midsummer's Eve.
_ [G] People came from [C] all around
the village.
He's a good [D] little salad to fill the heart with [G] such a happy cheer
[C] His name went out to the show, sure he [G] had what he could do
And [A] when he had to buy a plane to [D] get around
_ Yeah, he's [G] Johnson, all the [C] man, come on, let's give that man a [D] hand
He's the best little money [G] action, _ dear

_ _ Thank [Gb] you band, that was good too, that was [Gm] really good.
You know what [Ab] friends, I'm just crazy about [Bb] Hank Williams.
I just am amazed that whenever he [D] wanted to write a joyous song, he could put something together,
[Ab] like Hey Good Lookin' or [Ebm] Jambalaya, my word.
But I gotta tell you something friends, when _ [Gb] _ he put a sad song [Ab] together, there's just no explaining it.
[D] Remember this one?
_ _ _ _ Oh I hear _ [Gbm] the _ _ lonesome [D] _ _ weeper _ _ weep
He _ _ sings to blue and _ _ gray
_ _ _ The [G] moon _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] is _ _ new
_ I'm _
[A] _ so _ lost I _ _ _ [D] could _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ Oh [D] I've _ never _ _ seen [Bm] a _ [D] night so _ blue _
As _ _ time goes _ crawling
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ [G] The moon _ is way _ _ [D] _ _ _
behind [Bm] the cloud
[D] _ To _ hang [A] his _ _ [D] head and cry _ _ _ _ _
Oh the _ _ _ silence [Gbm] _ of [Bm] a _ falling [A] _ _ star
_ [D] Light up _ _ _ above _ [Am] the _ sky
_ [D] _ _ _ _
[G] Hands _ up _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ high
[Em] I'm so _ _ [A] lonesome _ _ I could _ cry
_ _ [G] _ _ _
I'm [Em] so _ _ _ [A] lonesome _ I could _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Yes sir, Lord of [Ab] Hebrews, how about that?
_ What a song, beautifully done, thank you.
That was wonderful.
[D] _ When I was a little boy, my Uncle Chuck went [E] to a _ _ [D] gypsy fortune teller.
_ [F] _ And _ [A] that gypsy fortune teller _ [D] told him that there's going to be a [Gb] big expensive car in his future.

You know it wasn't even two weeks before he got run down by a [Db] Lincoln Continental.
