G 
I hear a lonesome dove off in the distance 
                   D           G 
His cry echoes out through the hills 
 
He's sad that his lover flew off with another 
               D         G 
And I know the sorrow he feels 
         C                   G 
Lonesome dove we're not that different 
           Bb           C            D 
You sing a sad song but you're not alone 
F                   C                            G   D 
You've been forever forsaken by the one that you love 
D Em           C             G    Bb C D Em 
I know how you feel lonesome dove 
  Em            C             G    Bb C G  Bb C G 
I know how you feel lonesome dove 
G 
I've tried to run from the pain of her memory 
                         D     G 
But I can't find a place I can hide 
 
And that old lonesome dove is gonna mourn for his love 
          D           G 
No matter how far he flies 
         C                   G 
Lonesome dove we're not that different 
           Bb           C            D 
You sing a sad song but you're not alone 
F                   C                            G   D 
You've been forever forsaken by the one that you love 
D Em           C             G    Bb C D  
I know how you feel lonesome dove 
  Em            C             G    Bb C G  Bb C G 
I know how you feel lonesome dove
