^G I hear a lonesome dove off in the distance
His cry echoes out ^D through the ^G hills
He's sad that his lover flew off with another
And I know the ^D sorrow he ^G feels
Lonesome ^C dove we're not that ^G different
You sing a ^Bb sad song but ^C you're not al ^D one
^F You've been forever ^C forsaken by the one that you ^G love ^D
D I ^Em know how you ^C feel lonesome ^G dove ^{Bb C D Em}
I ^Em know how you f ^C eel lonesome d ^G ove ^{Bb C G Bb C G
G} I've tried to run from the pain of her memory
But I can't find a place ^D I can ^G hide
And that old lonesome dove is gonna mourn for his love
No matter ^D how far he f ^G lies
Lonesome ^C dove we're not that ^G different
You sing a ^Bb sad song but ^C you're not al ^D one
^F You've been forever ^C forsaken by the one that you ^G love ^D
D I ^Em know how you ^C feel lonesome ^G dove ^{Bb C D}
I ^Em know how you f ^C eel lonesome d ^G ove ^{Bb C G Bb C G}
