INTRO: D

D G D

Every time it rains Lord I run to my window

A

All I do is ring my hands and moan

D G D

The wolf is scratchin' at my door and I can hear the lonesome wind moan

A G D

Tell me baby why you been gone so long

CHORUS:

D G D

Tell me baby why you been gone so long you been gone so long now

A

Tell me baby why you been gone so long

D G D

Well the wolf he scratches at my door and I can hear the lonesome wind moan

A G D

Tell me baby why you been gone so long

Someone said they thought they saw you roarin' down in Reno

With a little girl from San Antone

They say I'm a fool to pine for you hey but what do they know

Tell me baby why you been gone so long

CHORUS

Nothin' I wanna do oh I guess I could get stoned

And let that past paint pictures on my head

I could kill a fifth of Thunderbird, write myself a sad song

Tell me baby why you been gone so long

CHORUS

D A G D

Tell me baby why you been gone so long
