Hank Thompson - I Cast A Lonesome Shadow guitar chord

Hank Thompson

I Cast a Lonesome Shadow

Intro:

Am E Am F E AM

Am

Every evening when the sun goes down I sit here in my room

Am E

Am

And the lamplight streaming over me projects my lonely gloom

C F E

My counterpart in agony mocks each tear that falls

Am E

Am

And I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls

Am E Am

He's always by my side at night no matter where I go

Am E Am

He lurks out in the darkness or in the neon's glow

C F

E

He follows me across the steps and up and down the hall

Am E

Am

And I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls

Am E Am

I sit and watch the candle and the flicker of the flame

Am E

Am

My writhing shadow twists and turns as though it is in pain

C F E

I'm trying to escape the memory my mind recalls

Am E

Am

And I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls

Am E Am

The image of a love I lost and all the things I'd planned

Am E Am

Are as empty as this bottle that I hold in my hand

C F E

My soul is buried in the depths of love and life's pitfalls

Am E

Am

And I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls

Am E Am

I cast a lonesome shadow on these lonely, lonely walls
