| 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 al | one |
| 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 f | eel lonesome d | ove |
| 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 f | lies |
| C | G | |
| Lonesome | dove we're not that | different |
| Bb | C | D | |
| You sing a | sad song but | you're not al | one |
| 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 | |
