[Verse 1]
F                          Bb        F
Every time it rains Lord I run to my window
                              C7
All I do is ring my hands and moan
   F                                     Bb                 F
I listened to that thunder roar; Can you hear the lonesome wind moan
                 C7               F
Tell me baby why you been gone so long


[Chorus]
F                                       Bb            F
Tell me baby why you been gone so long; been gone so long now
                                   C7
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
F                                    Bb                  F
Wolf was scratchin at my door; I can hear the lonesome wind moan
                 C7               F
Tell me baby why you been gone so long


[Verse 2]
F                                      Bb              F
Someone said they thought they saw you roaring down in Reno
                             C7
With a little girl from San Antone
F                               Bb               F
They tell I'm a fool to cry for you but what do they know
                 C7                F
Tell me baby why you been gone so long


[Chorus]
F                                       Bb            F
Tell me baby why you been gone so long; been gone so long now
                                   C7
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
F                                    Bb                  F
Wolf was scratchin at my door; I can hear the lonesome wind moan
                 C7               F
Tell me baby why you been gone so long


[Verse 3]
F                             Bb          F
Nothin’ I wanna do so I guess I could get stoned
                                   C7
Let that past paint pictures in my head
F                               Bb             F
Kill a fifth of Thunderbird and try to write a sad song
                 C7                F
Tell me baby why you been gone so long


[Chorus]
F                                       Bb            F
Tell me baby why you been gone so long; been gone so long now
                                   C7
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
F                                    Bb                  F
Wolf was scratchin at my door; I can hear the lonesome wind moan
                 C7               F
Tell me baby why you been gone so long


[Outro]
                 C7               A
Tell me baby why you been gone so long
