[intro]
Em/G Em/F# C/E - C/D C
I've seen love go by my door, it's never been this close before
G G D/A D/A
It's never been so easy or so slow
Em/G Em/F C/E - C/D C
I've been shooting in the dark too long, when something's not right, it's wrong
G D/F# G G
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
Purple clover, Queen Anne's Lace, crimson hair across your face
You could make me cry if you don't know
I don't remember what I was thinking of, you might be spoiling me with too much
love, honey
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
Em/G Em/F# C/E - C/D C G G D/A D/A
[instrumental]
Em/G Em/F C/E - C/D C G D/F# G G
[instrumental]
There are dragon clouds so high above, I have only known careless love
It always hit me from below
But this time 'round it's more correct, it's right on target and so direct
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
D/F# D/F# G G
Flowers on the hillside blowing crazy
D/F# D/F# G G
Crickets talking back and forth in rhyme
A7 A7sus4(6) A7 A7
Blue river running slow and lazy
Am7 Am7 D/F# D/F# D/F# D/F# D/F# D/F#
I could stay with you forever, and never realize the time
But situations have ended sad, relationships have all been bad
Mine have been like Verlaine's and Rimbaud's
But there's no way I can compare all them scenes with this affair, honey
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
Oh, you're gonna make me wonder what I'm doing
Staying far behind without you
You're gonna make me wonder what I'm saying
You're gonna make me give myself a good talking to
I will I look for you in Honolulu, San Francisco, Ashtabula
You're gonna have to leave me now, I know
But I'll see you in the skies above, in the tall grass and the ones I love
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go
You're gonna make me lonesome

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP, representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are "hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the official SHAWN COLVIN tablature which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route. These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the NY Times Article. We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
