E   F     E  F   E    F
Lonesome, crying heartaches
       F      C
That's human emotion
        G          G7
I never knew, lord
     F         C
Till she went away
E  F     E   F        E   F
Begging, pleading, forgiveness
       F      C
That's human emotion
                   G        G7
There's nothing as lonesome
   F           C       C7
As hearing her say

                  F
She don't mean to hurt me
                   C
She just wants her freedom
                    G
Revenge ain't worth having
     F           C     C7
When it comes so slow
                  F
I've hurt her too much now
               C
For her to get even
        G
Even if leaving
      F           C   C7
Means no place to go

                  F
She packed up her suitcase
               C
Along with the babies
                 G
But she left her paintings
                 C    C7
They hang on the wall
               F
Its her way of telling me
                  C
Just what I'll be missing
             G
Missing hers something
  F            C
I hate most of all

[Chorus]
E   F     E  F   E    F
Lonesome, crying heartaches
       F      C
That's human emotion
        G          G7
I never knew, lord
     F         C
Till she went away
E  F     E   F        E   F
Begging, pleading, forgiveness
       F      C
That's human emotion
                   G        G7
There's nothing as lonesome
   F           C       C7
As hearing her say
