Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
The capo is on the 3rd fret, and this is just a basic outline of the chords. As you can tell,
the studio recording is much more involved. Enjoy.
C G/B Am F G
C G/B Am F G
[Verse 1]
C G/B Am
I’m just a lonesome ol’ rounder
F
Never meant to hurt no one
G
But some flames are hard to simmer
C G/B Am
I wore my pride on my bad side
F G
and on the other kept my hand close by the trigger
[Chorus]
F G
Some folks are guided by the weight of their tongues
F G
But we all fall silent at the end of a gun, And now I’m
C G/B Am
Just a lonesome ol’ rounder
F G
With a number for my name and a rope to haunt my dreams
[Verse 2]
C G/B Am
They’re gonna hang me boys from a tall, tall tree
F G
Those demons, they’ll be the death of me
F G
Some folks are guided by some light of the Lord
F G
But me I was blinded and I’ll never afford my salvation
C G/B Am F G
C G/B Am F G
[Chorus 3]
C G/B Am
I’m just a lonesome ol’ rounder
F G
Darkness grows, and then it’s gone
C G/B Am
And at the end of this lonely road
F G
Those deeds you’ve done they say you’ll never go home
F G
Some folks are guided by the love they share
F G
But darkness called and left me unaware
C G/B Am
Now I’m just a lonesome ol’ rounder
F G
With a few last words and one last meal
C G/B Am
They’re gonna hang me, boys, come the morning light
F G
When darkness smiles and all is still
C G/B Am F G (fade slowly until you end on a C)
All is still
