[Intro]
[Strophe]
C                 C7 
I've seen love go by my door 
F                    Fm 
It's never been this close before 
C                        G      G7 
Never been so easy or so slow 
C               C7 
Been shootin' in the dark too long 
F                               Fm 
If something's not right it's wrong 
C                    G                 C 
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
[Strophe]
C           Cmaj7 
Dragon clouds so high above 
F 
I've only known careless love 
C           Cmaj7         G7 
It always has hit me from below 
C             Cmaj7 
But this time it's more correct 
F 
Right on target so direct 
C                    G                 C 
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
[Strophe]
C            Cmaj7 
Purple clover Queen Anne lace 
F 
Crimson hair across your face 
C            Cmaj7               G7 
You can make me cry if you don't know 
C              Cmaj7 
Can't remember what I was thinking of 
F 
You might be spoiling me too much love 
C                    G                 C 
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
[Refrain]
G                                C 
Flowers on the hillside blooming crazy 
G                                  C 
Crickets talking back and forth in rhyme 
D                               D7 
Blue river running slow and lazy 
F                                                        G 
I could stay with you forever and never realize the time
[Strophe]
C           Cmaj7 
Situations have ended sad 
F 
Relationships have all been bad 
C            Cmaj7                 G7 
Mine have been like Verlaine's and Rimbaud 
C                  Cmaj7 
But there’s no way I can compare 
F 
All those scenes to this affair 
C                    G                 C 
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
[Refrain]
G                                    C 
You're gonna make me wonder what I'm doing 
G                          C 
Staying far behind without you 
D7 
You're gonna make me wonder what I'm saying 
F                                G 
You're gonna make me give myself a good talking to
[Strophe]
C           Cmaj7 
I'll look for you in old Honolula 
F 
San Francisco, Ashtabula 
C            Cmaj7                 G7 
You're gonna have to leave me now I know 
C           Cmaj7 
But I'll see you in the sky above 
F 
In the tall grass in the ones I love 
C                    G                 C 
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
