John Mellencamp
Lonely Ol' Night
I watched John play it this way solo on TV (accoutic)
Play around with the D chords at the end of the lines. John was lifting his fingers
the first and third strings on the D chord.
She calls me up and says "Baby, it's a lonely ol' night"
I don't know, I'm just so scared and lonely all at the same time
Nobody told us it was gonna work out this way
No no no no no
I guess they knew we'd work it out in our own way
It's a lonely ol' night
Can I put my arms around you?
It's a lonely ol' night
Custom made for two lonely people like me and you
Radio playing softly some singer's sad, sad song
He's singin about stanin' in the shadows of love
I guess he feels awfully alone
She says "I know exactly what he means
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah"
And it's a sad, sad, feelin' when you're livin' on those in betweens,
It's a lonely ol' night
Can I put my arms around you?
It's a lonely ol' night
Custom made for two people like me and you
She calls me baby, She calls everybody baby
It's a lonely ol' night, but ain't they all?
It's a lonely ol' night
Can I put my arms around you?
It's a lonely ol' night
Custom made for two people like me and you
Yeah like me and you
Yeah like me and you
