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 tuning on the recording is just sharp with no capo! It's in between no capo and capo on first fret, so do
whatever feels comfortable to you.
The walkdown with diminished chords can be played with just the bottom two strings if you want.

[Intro]
D7 G7 D7 Bb7
In between two tall mountains
D7 G7 D7 Bb7
There's a place they call Lonesome
D7 Bb7 Fdim7 Edim7 D#dim7 Ddim7
Don't see why they call it Lonesome;
A7 D7 G7 A7
I'm never lonesome when I go there
[Verse]
D6 G
See that bird sittin' on my windowsill?
D6
Well, he's sayin' whip-poor-will
A7 D6
All the night through
D6 G
See that brook runnin' by my kitchen door?
D6
Well, it couldn't talk no more
A7 D6
If it was you
[Chorus]
Gadd9 D6/F#
Up that tree there's sort of a squirrel thing
Gadd9 D6/F#
Sounds just like we did when we were quarrelling
A7 D6
In the yard I keep a pig or two
A7 D6
They drop in for dinner like you used to do
[Post-Chorus]
D6 G
I don't stand in the need of company
D6
With everything I see
A7 D6
Talkin' like you
[Chorus]
Gadd9 D6/F#
Up that tree there's sort of a squirrel thing
Gadd9 D6/F#
Sounds just like we did when we were quarrelling
A7 D6
You may think you left me all alone
A7 D6
But I can hear you talk without a telephone
[Post-Chorus]
D6 G
I don't stand in the need of company
D6
With everything I see
A7 D6
Talkin' like you
[Verse]
D6 G
See that bird sittin' on my windowsill?
D6
Well, he's sayin' whip-poor-will
A7 D6
All the night through
D6
Just, whip-poor-will
A7 D6
All the night through
