Verse:

C                F            C
Guess that I was born to be a rover,
Am               F            C         G
Guess I've always been a rolling stone
C                F                  C          Am
But someday when my roving days are over
C      F       C        G        C       G
I will found a place to call my own

Chorus:

      C         F                  C
Cause even the lone star state gets lonesome
Am               F               C      G
Lonesome as the lost ship on the sea
C          F                         C          Am
Cause even the lone star state gets lonesome
C        F     C         G         C     G
Lonesome for a lone star man like me

Chorus:

      C         F                  C          Am
Cause even the lone star state gets lonesome

Lonesome for a lone star man like me

Lonesome for a lone star man like me
