Lonesome, On'ry, And Mean Teclado

	  (verse 1) 
 D                       C     G              D   
On a greyhound bus, Lord I'm traveling this morning, 
                G                              D   
I'm going to Shreveport and on down to New Orleans, 
                    G                          D  
Been driving these highways, been doing things my way, 
                     Cadd9     G         D     
It's been making me lonesome, on'ry and mean, 
 
 
(verse 2) 
 D                                   C    G     D 
Now her hair was jet black, and her name was Codiene, 
                      G                         D 
Thought she was the cream of the Basin Street queens, 
         G                        D     
She got tired of that smokey whine dream, 
               Cadd9     G         D     
Began to feel lonesome, on'ry and mean,

(verse 3) 
 D                       C         G     D    
We got together, and we cashed in our sweeps, 
                G                                     D       
Gave them to a beggar who was mumbling through the streets, 
              G                            D   
There's no escaping from his snowy white dreams, 
              Cadd9     G          D      
Born lookin' lonesome, on'ry and mean, 
 
 
(verse 4) 
 D                                       C     G     D   
Now I'm down in this valley, where the wheels turn so low, 
                    G                     D 
At dawn I pray, to the Lord of my soul, 
                   G               D   
I say do Lord, do right by me, 
                    Cadd9     G         D  - Cadd9 - G - D 
I'm tired of being lonesome, on'ry and mean,
