E      A   A#   B7
I'm trying to indicate how the bass line is walking up, so if you're doing I-strum-V-strum alternating bass
line on your acoustic, then this is like going I-strum-IV-IV#, and then your into your V7th chord. There's
probably other bass walks in the song that I missed, feel free to add them.

[Intro]
E

[Verse 1]
     E
It's after two, and it just started to rain
        E
Lord the wind is blowin' like an ol' freight train
  E
A distant thunder stirs me from my bed
         E          E      A   A#   B7
And all those longin' memories that I once thought was dead

[Chorus]
              E
Cold lonesome wind, take me back home
              A7               E
Back to the country where I belong
          A7                E
Help me relive, those days again
             B7                  E
Take me back home, cold lonesome wind

[Verse 2]
   E
My dad made sure we never missed a meal
   E
He worked those hours long and hard to keep up on the bills
   E
My mother she meant everything to him
         E                     E      A   A#   B7
And it's nights like this that really start me missin' both of them

[Chorus]
              E
Cold lonesome wind, take me back home
              A7               E
Back to the country where I belong
          A7                E
Help me relive, those days again
             B7                  E
Take me back home, cold lonesome wind


[Interlude]
7 bars of E walking up into 1 bar of B7 - Same as the verses
(Dope ass lap steel solo goes here)

[Chorus]
              E
Cold lonesome wind, take me back home
              A7               E
Back to the country where I belong
          A7                E
Help me relive, those days again
             B7                  E
Take me back home, cold lonesome wind

[Verse 3]
    E
The years have passed and we've all moved away
   E
Despite of everything that's gone, we're all doin' ok
   E
On certain lonesome stormy nights, I can still be found
E                      E      A   A#   B7
Searching through the memories of that little oil town

[Chorus]
              E
Cold lonesome wind, take me back home
              A7               E
Back to the country where I belong
          A7                E
Help me relive, those days again
             B7                  E
Take me back home, cold lonesome wind
