Capo 1st Fret
Intro: (G) (G)
Do you (G) feel a kindred spirit,
To the sound of pouring rain?
Does your heart start to yearning'
When you (D) hear a distant train? (F - one strum)
If you'd (G) like to take that train and ride,
To someone left be(C)hind,
You don't (G) need the wind to tell you,
You're on (D) Lonesome (C) Standard (G) Time. (G - one strum)
Do you (G) sit alone and think about,
An old love from the past?
Do you feel a bit more empty,
Ev'ry (D) time you raise your glass? (F - one strum)
If the (G) mem'ry of his kisses,
Sends a shiver up your sp(C)ine,
You don't (G) need a watch to tell you,
You're on (D) Lonesome (C) Standard (G) Time.
When you (C) hear the little sad songs,
Do you (G) hang on every word?

Do you (C) swear a cryin' fiddle,
Has the (D) sweetest sound on earth? (F - one strum)
If you (G) shudder at the music,
Of a hootowl in the (C) pines,
You're on (F) Lonesome (D) Standard (G) Time.
Fiddle Solo: (C) (G) (C) (D) (F - one strum) (G) (C) (F) (D) (G)
There's a (G) bigger clock a' tickin',
It crosses ev'ry zone.
The first time your old heart broke,
Was the (D) time you turned it on. (F - one strum)
It don't (G) ever need a' windin',
'Cos if it works like (C) mine,
Well, there (G) ain't no doubt about it,
You're on (D) Lonesome (C) Standard (G) Time.
Repeat Chorus
If you (G) shudder at the music,
Of a hootowl in the (C) pines,
You're on (F - one strum) Lonesome (D - one strum) Standard (N.C.) Time. (G)
