No Lonesome Tune - with chords and lyrics

I ain't gonna (A) sing no lonesome tune
And babe, I'm comin' soon.
I (E) can't believe I stayed so long (A) away.

But a man must look around
And you're the sweetest thing I've found.
Your lost high roller's rollin' home today.

Well, my daddy said to me.
“It's hard as you will see.
To find someone upon whom to rely."

And in the kitchen mama sneezed.
Daddy grinned big as you please.
He said, "Bless you" and a tear come to his eye.”

I did decide that very day.
I'd like to live that way.
And now I know I've been wastin' time.

It's with you I should be.
And if you feel the same about me
I'm headed home along the straightest line.

DGB tuned guitar.
2 chord song.

Thanks, J.   Will add Hank Williams, Willie Dixon and Guy Clark to that list.

Thanks, Haha.   Yup.   Just for the love of singing, playing and building.   Thanks for noticing my big box tenors.  They are my faves.   But it is good to get back to a basic 3 string CBG now and then.

Thanks, Erasmo.   I have a lot of song writers to admire and Townes is right near the top.
