Tabbed By: Emrldeyzs
INTRO: G C G C
G Em G
Well they say a part of Rachel died
G Em G
The day her true love took his life
G C G
She stayed on at the old homestead
G Em G
And sleeps alone in a cold, cold bed
Am D
She doesn't need no one
G Em G
She drives into town in her old tray back
G Em G
Down thirty miles of dusty track
G C G
And still she wears that old black veil
G Em G
Lips so red and skin so pale
Am D
I wonder if she knows
[Refrão] D C G
Rachel, I can't stop loving you
D G
Tell me is there nothin' I can do
C G
Oh how I long to lay my lonely head
C D G C
On the empty pillow there on Rachel's bed
G Em G
In her silent eyes I search for a sign
G Em G
That maybe she'll see the love in mine
G C G
When she goes by my head goes spinnin'
G Em G
I wanna call her name but my nerves not willin'
Am D
I wonder if it shows
CHORUS:
D C G
Rachel, I can't stop loving you
D G
Tell me is there nothin' I can do
C G
Oh how I long to lay my lonely head
C D G
On the empty pillow there on Rachel's bed
G Em G
Well they say a part of Rachel died
G Em G
The day her true love took his life
G C G
She stayed on at the old homestead
G Em G
And sleeps alone in a cold, cold bed
Am D
She doesn't need no one
CHORUS:
D C G
Rachel, I can't stop loving you
D G
Tell me is there nothin' I can do
C G
Oh how I long to lay my lonely head
C D G
On the empty pillow there on Rachel's bed

Oh how I long to lay my lonely head
