[Intro]
G G

       G
Do you feel a kindred spirit,
To the sound of pouring rain?
Does your heart start to yearning'
         D
When you hear a distant train? (F - one strum)
         G
If you'd like to take that train and ride,
                   C
To someone left be hind,
          G
You don't need the wind to tell you,
          D        C        G
You're on Lonesome Standard Time. (G - one strum)

       G
Do you sit alone and think about,
An old love from the past?
Do you feel a bit more empty,
      D
Ev'ry time you raise your glass? (F - one strum)
       G
If the mem'ry of his kisses,
                          C
Sends a shiver up your sp ine,
          G
You don't need a watch to tell you,
          D        C        G
You're on Lonesome Standard Time.

         C
When you hear the little sad songs,
       G
Do you hang on every word?
       C
Do you swear a cryin' fiddle,
        D
Has the sweetest sound on earth? (F - one strum)
       G
If you shudder at the music,
                    C
Of a hootowl in the pines,
          F        D        G
You're on Lonesome Standard Time.
            
[Fiddle Solo]
(F - one strum)
C G C D               G C F D G
          G
There's a bigger clock a' tickin',
It crosses ev'ry zone.
The first time your old heart broke,
        D
Was the time you turned it on. (F - one strum)
         G
It don't ever need a' windin',
                      C
'Cos if it works like mine,
            G
Well, there ain't no doubt about it,
          D        C        G
You're on Lonesome Standard Time.

[Repeat Chorus]
       G
If you shudder at the music,
                    C
Of a hootowl in the pines,
                                                                         G
You're on (F - one strum) Lonesome (D - one strum) Standard (N.C.) Time.
