Sand Mountain Blues

C F C G C

[Verse 1]
C
Standing by the railroad waiting for a train
F                                                        C
I’m gonna catch that midnight train and never come back again
C               G                      C
It’s a lonesome feeling, Sand Mountain blues

[Verse 2]
C
I went to the gypsy just to hear what she would say
C   F                                                          C
She said, that girl don’t love you and you’d better be on your way
C               G                     C
You’re gonna be sorry for breaking my heart

[Verse 3]
C
I don’t know where to go, any old place will do
C   F                                                 C
I’m leaving old Sand Mountain, just getting away from you
C               G                     C
You’re gonna be sorry for breaking my heart

[Verse 4]
C
There’s other girls around here and I could love ’em too
C   F                                          C
But every time I saw you, it’d make me sad and blue
C               G                      C
It’s a lonesome feeling, Sand Mountain blues

[Verse 5]
C
When it makes you lonesome to hear that freight train blow
F                                                   C
Then you will know I’m riding, but I didn’t want to go
C               G                      C
It’s a lonesome feeling, Sand Mountain blues

[Verse 6]
C
When it’s raining on Sand Mountain, and raining kind of slow
C    F                                          C
Then maybe you’ll remember and hate you make me go
C               G                     G
You’re gonna be sorry for breaking my heart

[Verse 7]
C
I am just a poor boy, and work’s my middle name
C F                                                          C
I guess that’s why you said goodbye, but I love you just the same
C               G                     C
You’re gonna be sorry for breaking my heart

[Verse 8]
C
If you ever need me, then maybe I’ll come back
C F                                              C
I hear that train a-coming, just coming down the track
C               G                      C
It’s a lonesome feeling, Sand Mountain blues
