G
I hear a lonesome dove off in the distance
D G
His cry echoes out through the hills
He's sad that his lover flew off with another
D G
And I know the sorrow he feels
C G
Lonesome dove we're not that different
Bb C D
You sing a sad song but you're not alone
F C G D
You've been forever forsaken by the one that you love
D Em C G Bb C D Em
I know how you feel lonesome dove
Em C G Bb C G Bb C G
I know how you feel lonesome dove
G
I've tried to run from the pain of her memory
D G
But I can't find a place I can hide
And that old lonesome dove is gonna mourn for his love
D G
No matter how far he flies
C G
Lonesome dove we're not that different
Bb C D
You sing a sad song but you're not alone
F C G D
You've been forever forsaken by the one that you love
D Em C G Bb C D
I know how you feel lonesome dove
Em C G Bb C G Bb C G
I know how you feel lonesome dove
