Patty Loveless - Long Stretch Of Lonesome

  ---(capo 3rd fret)---

Intro - G - D = 4x's

(verse 1)
 G                D
Never mind the struggle,
       G                  D
Never mind these tears I cry,
           G                  D
Through it all I will stay humble,
      G               A
AS I keep a watchful eye,
           Bm      A          G    A
For that sweeter change of fortune,
              G
That's closer now than it's been,
          Bm     A         G      A
Where the, memories that haunt me,
                  G
are gonna someday be my friend
           D              Asus-A               G - D - G - D
When that long strtch of lonesome comes to an end,

(verse 2)
    G           D          G             D
On some crazy river but I still have control,
       G           D                G                 A
And I will not surrender I'll stay true to heart and soul,
           Bm                               G
There's a sea of love awaiting Down at the river's end,
Bm                          G
There I'll drown my sorrow there I'll live again,
           D               Asus-A              G - D - G - D
When that long stretch of lonesome come to an end,

(chorus)
               A                        G                 D
Oh when that long stretch of lonesome finally comes to an end,
             A                       G                 A
My heart belonging to someone it'll never be longing again,
          Bm                                 G
And the shadows that have dogged me Since I can't remember when,
  Bm                           G
Finally give quarter to the sunlight on my skin,
            D                A                 G  - D  - G - D
When that long stretch of lonesome comes to an end,

(lead chords - A - G - D - A - Bm - G - A)

(verse 3)
          Bm                                 G
And the shadows that have dogged me since I can't remember when,
   Bm                          G
Finally give quarter to the sunlight on my skin,
            D               A
When that long stretch of lonesome,
          Bm               G
When that long stretch of lonesome,
           D                 A                 G  - D - G - D = 4x's
When that long stretch of lonesome comes to an end,
