Three plain chords while the melody sings the blue third against them — bend the 3rd on top and you'll hear why they call it high lonesome.

Chorus
In the Epines, in the Apines, where the Esun never shines,
and we Eshiver when the B7cold wind Eblows.
Verse 1
The Elongest train I Aever saw went Edown that Georgia line —
the Eengine passed at Asix o'clock, and the B7cab passed by at Enine.
Verse 2
My Egirl, my girl, Adon't lie to Eme —
Etell me, where did you B7sleep last Enight?
