C  G  C


[Verse 1]
C                                 F
Tonight I sit and look across the harbor,
    C                                      G
And watch the moonlight and the waves roll by,
C                                   F
I’m alone because there’s no one to love me,
       C                 G               C
I’m so lonesome since my mother said goodbye.


[Chorus]
          F                                 C
There may come a time when someone else may love me,
          D7                              G
There may come a time when I will wonder “why?”,
       C                                      F
But tonight I’m sad because there’s no one to love me,
       C                 G               C
I’m so lonesome since my mother said goodbye.


[Verse 2]
C                                     F
In dreams I still can hear my darling mother,
     C                                      G
They dry your eyes my love and please don’t cry,
    C                               F
But when I went sure I don’t want another,
       C                 G               C
I’m so lonesome since my mother said goodbye.


[Chorus]
          F                                  C
There may come a time when someone else will love me,
          D7                              G
There may come a time when I will wonder “why?”,
       C                                      F
But tonight I’m sad because there’s no one to love me,
       C                 G               C
I’m so lonesome since my mother said goodbye.


[Verse 3]
C                                    F
My mother said that she would always love me,
C                             G
Even from her home beyond the sky,
    C                             F
But still I’m here with no one to love me,
       C                 G               C
I’m so lonesome since my mother said goodbye.


[Outro]
          F                                  C
There may come a time when someone else will love me,
          D7                              G     G7
There may come a time when I will wonder “why?”,
       C                                      F
But tonight I’m sad ‘cause there’s no one to love me,
       C                 G               C
I’m so lonesome since my mother said goodbye,
            C                 G               C    F  C
Yes, I’m so lonesome since my mother said goodbye.
