So Sad and Lonely - The Bellfuries
Note:
This is the lead track off of the Bellfuries "Just Plain Lonesome", a modern day
rockabilly classic. Play it
with a good slapback delay and you're halfway home to nailing the sound. It should be
noted that for many of
the regular E chords, you sometimes hammer the 3rd fret on the B or high E sound to get
that E7 sound in
there periodically.
[Verse 1]

Well, Cupid sat perched upon a tree
B
Cocked his arrow back and then searched for love for me
E A7
Then he put his arrow down and he came back to the ground
E B E
Said “Sorry Joe, you’re doomed to be sad and lonely!”
