Born Lonesome Chords

(ver. 1)
Cadillac Sky
VERSE 1:
Am 
The wind blew cold on that mountain
Am                      D     C
On the night that I was made
Am 
Pale moonlight poured on that cabin
Am                                     D     C  
As shadows danced to a hoot owl's sere-nade

Am
When that fire burned down to ashes
Am                          D    C
Daddy stared out the window pane
Am
Momma knew without askin'
Am                                D
Her travelin' man had no plans to stay
              E7
And his gypsy blood's a rushin' through my veins


CHORUS:
           D       F                           G
I came out cryin', wailin' like an old freight train
               Am                        G   Am   
Nurse tried to hold me but I just pushed her away
              D            F                  G
Momma took to prayin', doc said, "He can't be saved
           E7         G               D
Ma'am your baby boy's heart's already broken"
      C    Am
I was born lonesome


VERSE 2:
Am 
So girl try to forgive me
Am                                       D     C
If your goodbye don't send tears down my face
Am
Whether you leave me tonight or stay here with me
                                  D    
I'll wake up feeling empty either way
           E7
I'm at the mercy of my DNA


CHORUS:
           D       F                           G
I came out cryin', wailin' like an old freight train
               Am
Nurse tried to hold me but I just pushed her away
              D            F                  G
Momma took to prayin', doc said, "He can't be saved
           E7         G               D
Ma'am your baby boy's heart's already broken"
      C    Am
I was born lonesome
 
         D                           Am
Came out cryin', like an old freight train
Am                               G   Am
Nurse tried to hold me, I pushed her away
              D            F                  G
Momma took to prayin', doc said, "He can't be saved"

See girl, you [E7] can't break a [G] heart already [D] broken
I was [C] born [Amin] lonesome
             E7            G             D
No girl, you can't break a heart already broken
      C    Am
I was born lonesome
