Ray Charles - I Can Make It Thru The Days (But Oh Those Lonely N lyrics

6/8

1/3 5/4 #4 |1/5 |

6- |2 |

Girl, I'm so lonesome tonight

4

I was just lyin' here wonderin' where you are

|1

And what you're doin'

|4/1 /4

And Lord knows the thing that worries me the most

|1

Is who yer don' it with

That's why, if you don't mind,

|5 2d13 5d7/7

I'd like to sing these words to ya, ya see

1 |/ |

I've got new books to read

6- |/ |

But they ain't what I need

3- |6-

And this picture of you

|2-7 |2-7b5/b6 |

Just won't do, no, no, baby

1 |5/7 |

And the postcards you send would never (never) mend

b7d6 |6d7 5d7/7 7d7/#1

The pain in my heart when we're apart

|2-7 1/3 2-7/4 |1/5 |

Girl I can make it thru the day

6- |2 |5 |1 |4 |1 |5 2d7/6 5d7 |

But oh, please help me thru the lonely nites

1 |/ |6- |/ |

When I'm on my job It's not too hard

3- |6-

But when I go home

|2-7 |2-7b5/b6 |

And I'm all alone (and I'm by myself babe you heard me)

1 |5/7 |

You know you're my crutch I need you're sweet touch

b7d6 |6d7 5d7/7 7d7/#1 |

Then it gets the nite time again Lord when will it end

2-7 1/3 2-7/4 |1/5 |6- |2 |

I'll make it thru the day say, but oh

5 |1 |4 |1 |5 2d7/6 5d7 |

You don't know nothin' about the lonely nites

1 |/ |6- |/ |

Well now nite go away please hurry up day

3- |6- |2-7 |2-7b5/b6

Cause my nite lite burns and I toss and turn

|1 |5/7 |

Tell me what would I see if I turned on TV

b7 |6d7 7d7 6d7/#1 |

I don't know what to do, Lord knows, I need me some you

2-7 1/3 2-7/4 |1/5 |6- |2 |

I can make it thru the day

5 |1 |4 |1 ||

Please help me thru the lonely nite
