Chorus:
A A7
I'll be a lonesome dove
D E A F# Bm E
If you don't come home this Christmas
A A7
I'll be a lonesome dove
D E A F# Bm E
If you don't fly home this year
C#
Sit here on my porch and pray that
F#
I'll see headlights through the snow
B
If this doesn't happen, I will
E E7
Have to find somebody else to hold
Chorus:
I'll be a lonesome dove
If you don't come home this Christmas
And I'll be a lonesome dove
If you don't fly home to me this year
Slow dance in the pale moonlight
I wish that you were here
If this doesn't go my way
I'll lasso a cowboy to bring me some chip
Chorus:
I'll be a lonesome dove
If you don't come home this Christmas
Don't make me a lonesome dove
My heart just won't take it, baby, this year
Don't make me a lonesome dove
But don't need one more lonesome dove this year
