C                              G7
The night winds whisper softly why did you do her wrong

                                      F                       C
In the distance there's a coyote howl sounds like his love is gone

                                             C7                   F
My heart is chilled by a whippoorwill as the train pulls out with you

       C                 G7              C
Listen close and you can almost hear the blues


    F                                C
You can almost hear the blues in the rain that's pouring down

     F                                   C               G7
That lovely crackle to the fire seems to have a lonesome sound

C                            C7           F
As I walk the time away just listen to my shoes

       C                 G7              C
Listen close and you can almost hear the blues


                                G7
The rumble of the river flowing by my cabin door

                                         F                C
I could swear I heard it tell me son she won't be back no more

                                           C7                  F
As the night winds whine a coyote pines my heart cries out for you

       C                 G7              C
Listen close and you can almost hear the blues


    F                                C
You can almost hear the blues in the rain that's pouring down

     F                                   C               G7
That lovely crackle to the fire seems to have a lonesome sound

C                            C7           F
As I walk the time away just listen to my shoes

       C                 G7              C
Listen close and you can almost hear the blues


                         G7              C
Listen close and you can almost hear the blues
