BORN LONESOME (Cadillac Sky)
In Cmin, capo’ed at the 3rd fret
VERSE 1:
Am
The wind blew cold on that mountain
Am D C
On the night that I was made
Am
Pale moonlight poured on that cabin
Am D C
As shadows danced to a hoot owl's sere-nade
Am
When that fire burned down to ashes
Am D C
Daddy stared out the window pane
Am
Momma knew without askin'
Am D
Her travelin' man had no plans to stay
E7
And his gypsy blood's a rushin' through my veins
CHORUS:
D F G
I came out cryin', wailin' like an old freight train
Am G Am
Nurse tried to hold me but I just pushed her away
D F G
Momma took to prayin', doc said, "He can't be saved
E7 G D
Ma'am your baby boy's heart's already broken"
C Am
I was born lonesome
VERSE 2:
Am
So girl try to forgive me
Am D C
If your goodbye don't send tears down my face
Am
Whether you leave me tonight or stay here with me
D
I'll wake up feeling empty either way
E7
I'm at the mercy of my DNA
CHORUS:
D F G
I came out cryin', wailin' like an old freight train
Am
Nurse tried to hold me but I just pushed her away
D F G
Momma took to prayin', doc said, "He can't be saved
E7 G D
Ma'am your baby boy's heart's already broken"
C Am
I was born lonesome
D Am
Came out cryin', like an old freight train
Am G Am
Nurse tried to hold me, I pushed her away
D F G
Momma took to prayin', doc said, "He can't be saved"
See girl, you [E7] can't break a [G] heart already [D] broken
I was [C] born [Amin] lonesome
E7 G D
No girl, you can't break a heart already broken
C Am
I was born lonesome
