E                         A           E 
Everytime it rains Lord I stand at my window 
E                              B 
All I do is wring my hands and moan 
E 
Can you hear the thunder roar 
E       A                  E 
Can you hear that Lonesome wind blow 
E            B                    E 
Tell me baby why you been gone so long 

       E                                 A                  E 
Tell me baby why you been gone so long, been gone so long 
E                                 B 
Tell me baby why you been gone so long 
E                                             A             
Wolf was scratchin at my door Lordy don’t you hear that  
              E 
lonesome wind blow 
E            B                    E 
Tell me baby why you been gone so long       
 
Somebody said that they thought they saw you way down in Reno 
With a big ol man from San Antone 
They tell me I’m a fool to cry for you but what do they know 
Tell me baby why you been gone so long 
 
 
Chorus 
 
 
I guess there’s nothing left for me to do but go get stoned 
Let the past paint pictures through my head 
Might drink a fifth of Thunderbird and try to write a sad song 
Tell  me baby why you been gone so long.
