A You went away and left me crying. E Lord! Baby, how I need you here. A D Can't stand it now, and I ain't lyin'. A E A Ain't had no lovin' in a year. Pack up my clothes and that ain't all babe. E Hand me down my high top walkin' shoes. A D I'm leavin' if I have to crawl babe; A E A I've got the lonesome hearted blues. Banjo solo: A | E | A | D | A | E | A You went away without a word, babe; E You didn't even say goodbye. A D Wherever you went I haven't heard, babe, A E A but now I'm coming home to cry. Pack up my clothes and that ain't all babe. E Hand me down my high top walkin' shoes. A D I'm leavin' if I have to crawl babe; A E A I've got the lonesome hearted blues. Dobro solo: A | E | A | D | A | E | A Nashville is fine but Houston's finer. E Birmingham, now Lord, I just can't use. A D I'm bound to catch a dixieliner. A E A I've got the lonesome hearted blues. Pack up my clothes and that ain't all babe. E Hand me down my high top walkin' shoes. A D I'm leavin' if I have to crawl babe; A E A I've got the lonesome hearted blues. Mandolin solo: A | E | A | D | A | E | A Guitar solo: A | E | A | D | A | E | A Dobro solo: A | E | A | D | A | E | A Banjo solo: A | E | A | D | A | E | A Pack up my clothes and that ain't all babe. E Hand me down my high top walkin' shoes. A D I'm leavin' if I have to crawl babe; A E A I've got the lonesome hearted blues. E A I've got the lonesome hearted blues.
