***LONESOME HIGHWAY - Shane MacGowan
from the album "The Crock Of Gold"
There's a nice guitar part during the break after the first chorus
I didn't figure it out, but if someone did it would be appreciated.
Lonesome Highway - as perfomed by Shane MacGowan and The Popes
Intro:[D D G A] [D D G A]
D G D
As I wander down the long lonesome highway
G D A
I meet other people on the way
D G D
The broken hearted lovers who've been left along the byway
G A D
Livin by night and hiding from the day
The people I meet as I go on my way
They all have a story to tell
How they once had a lover who left them all on the byway
To wander this lonesome hell
D G A
And if you know, don't let me go
D G A
And if you know, don't let me go
D G A
And if you know, don't let me go
D D G A D D G A
I love you so I love you so
Break: (same as chorus progression)
[D D G D] [G D A A] [D D G D] [G A D D]
So As I carry on down the long lonesome highway
I meet other people on the way
More broken hearted lovers who've been left along the byway
Livin by night and hiding from the day
And if you know, don't let me go
And if you know, don't let me go
And if you know, don't let me go
Cos I love you so, I love you so
I love you so, I love you so
I love you so, I love you so
I love you so, I love you so
I love you so, I love you so
I love you so, I love you so
