INTRO:  G   C   G   C 
 
 
          G             Em         G      
Well they say a part of Rachel died 
    G                 Em           G          
The day her true love took his life 
G                    C             G    
She stayed on at the old homestead 
G                     Em           G    
And sleeps alone in a cold, cold bed 
Am                  D 
She doesn't need no one 
 
G                           Em            G 
She drives into town in her old tray back 
G                    Em         G 
Down thirty miles of dusty track 
G                        C            G     
And still she wears that old black veil 
G               Em          G 
Lips so red and skin so pale 
Am              D 
I wonder if she knows 

        D            C      G 
Rachel, I can't stop loving you 
D                              G  
Tell me is there nothin' I can do 
   C                           G    
Oh how I long to lay my lonely head 
       C            D                 G   C 
On the empty pillow there on Rachel's bed  
 
G                    Em               G  
In her silent eyes I search for a sign 
G                         Em          G     
That maybe she'll see the love in mine 
G                   C                 G 
When she goes by my head goes spinnin' 
G                            Em                G 
I wanna call her name but my nerves not willin' 
Am             D  
I wonder if it shows 
 
CHORUS:

Rachel, I can't stop loving you 
D                              G  
Tell me is there nothin' I can do 
   C                           G    
Oh how I long to lay my lonely head 
       C            D                 G 
On the empty pillow there on Rachel's bed 
 
 
         G             Em         G

On the empty pillow there on Rachel's bed

Oh how I long to lay my lonely head

On the empty pillow there on Rachel's bed
