[Chorus]
     A                   E
On a lonesome night, I'm far from home
  B       A        E
I heard a mournful sound
    A              E
The girl I love is calling me
    B           A          E
She thinks I've turned her down


[Verse 1]
       E                  B             E
In the pale moonlight, we quarreled one night
    A                     E
Our hearts were young and free
  A               E
I left her there alone that night
  E               B          E    E7
I thought she was two timing me


[Chorus]
     A                   E
On a lonesome night, I'm far from home
  B       A        E
I heard a mournful sound
    A              E
The girl I love is calling me
    B           A          E
She thinks I've turned her down

[Verse 2]
    E                B         E
She begged me not to leave her there
    A                    E
She said that she'd been true
      A                   E
But a jealous heart could not believe
    E     B        E      E7
Oh, how I long for you


[Chorus]
     A                   E
On a lonesome night, I'm far from home
  B       A        E
I heard a mournful sound
    A              E
The girl I love is calling me
    B           A          E
She thinks I've turned her down


[Tag]
    B           A          E
She thinks I've turned her down
