      Different than the other versions of this song, this is my fave. 
There's a few instrumental bits to work out, and some nice chord changes.
Here's the basics as far as I can hear... comments welcome. 
 
The lyrics below are as on the Pretty In Black album. 
A whip-poor-will is a nightjar bird.

No Capo (transpose down 2 for capo on 2nd)
 
Ebm 668876 
B   224442 
F#  244322 
Db  446662 


Intro: Ebm
 
Ebm 
Hear that lonesome whip-poor-will 
Ebm 
He sounds too blue to fly 
    B                 F# 
The midnight train is winding low 
                Db      Ebm 
I'm so lonesome I could cry 

Ebm 
Have you e'er seen a night so long 
Ebm 
When time goes crawling by 
    B                 F# 
The moon just went behind the clouds 
            Db        Ebm 
To hide its tears and cry 
 
Ebm 
Did you e'er see a robin weep 
Ebm 
When leaves begin to die 
     B                   F# 
That means he's lost the will to live 
                Db      Ebm 
I'm so lonesome I could cry 
 
 
Bridge: 
Ebm  F#   B   F#  Db  Ebm 
 
 
Ebm 
The silence of a falling star 
Ebm 
Lights up a purple sky 
    B           F# 
And as I wonder where you are 
                Db      Ebm 
I'm so lonesome I could cry
