Rolling Stone magazine posts this as the saddest song ever written.

 

[C] Hear that lonesome whippoorwill.  He sounds too blue to [C7] fly.
The [F] midnight train is [C] whining low.  I’m so [G7] lonesome I could [C] cry.

I’ve [C] never seen a night so long.  When time goes crawling [C7] by.
The [F] moon just went [C] behind a cloud.  To [G7] hide its face and [C] cry.

Did you [C] ever see a robin weep.  When leaves began to [C7] die?
That [F] means he’s lost the [C] will to live  I’m so [G7] lonesome I could [C] cry.

The [C] silence of a falling star.  Lights up a purple [C7] sky.
A
nd [F] as I wonder [C] where you are.  I’m so [G7] lonesome I could [C] cry.
