Hank Williams (Hiram King Williams, Mount Olive West, Alabama, September 17, 1923 

Hiram &quot;Hank&quot; King Williams est né le 17 septembre 1923 et décédé le 1er janvier 1953. Il était un chanteur, guitariste et compositeur américain qui devint une icône de la musique country et du rock, et l'un des plus influents musiciens du XXe siècle. Adepte influent du style Honky tonk, il enregistra de nombreux disques à succès, et son charisme sur scène ainsi que ses compositions concises alimentèrent sa célébrité.

Hank Williams fue uno de los músicos más influyentes del siglo xx. En su corta pero exitosa carrera fue determinante para modernizar el country y para ser una referencia en el futuro rock and roll.  Nació en 1923, y ya a finales de los 40, con poco más de 20 años era todo un icono del country y la absoluta estrella del Grand Ole Opry, el programa de radio más famoso del género, donde todos los sábados por la noche desfilaban los grandes.

Move It On Over

According to the I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry Songfacts, the lyrics are largely inspired by Williams' troubled marriage to Audrey Sheppard. 

E B7 E

E
Hear the lonesome whippoorwill
                         E7
He sounds too blue to fly
    A                 E
The midnight train is whining low
                B7      E
I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry

  E
I never seen a night so long
                           E7
When times goes crawling by
    A                E
The moon just went behind a cloud
             B7       E   E7
To hide it's face and cry

E E7 A E B7 E  E7

        E
Did you ever see a robin weep
                         E7
When leaves began to die?
     A                E
Like me he's lost the will to live
                B7      E   E7
I'm so lonesome I could cry

E E7 A E B7 E  E7

    E
The silence of a falling star
                      E7
Lights up a purple sky
    A           E
And as I wonder where you are
                B7      E   
I'm so lonesome I could cry

G
I wandered so aimless life filled with sin
C                             G
I wouldn't let my dear savior in
G
Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night
G               D          G
Praise the Lord I saw the light.


* REFRAIN *
G
I saw the light I saw the light
C                         G
No more darkness no more night

Now I'm so happy no sorrow in sight
G               D          G
Praise the Lord I saw the light.


G
Just like a blind man I wandered along
C                                  G
Worries and fears I claimed for my own
G
Then like the blind man that God gave back his sight
G               D          G
Praise the Lord I saw the light.


[REFRAIN]

G
I was a fool to wander and a-stray
C                                   G
Straight is the gate and narrow the way
G
Now I have traded the wrong for the right
G               D          G
Praise the Lord I saw the light.

D
I try so hard, my dear to show

			  A
That you're my every dream

A
Yet you're afraid each thing I do

		     D
I just some evil scheme



D
A memory from your lonesome past

		     G
Keeps us so far apart

	A
Why can't I free your doubtful mind

			      D
And melt your cold cold heart



D
Another love before my time

				A
Made your heart sad and blue


A
And so my heart is paying now

		      D
For things I didnt do



D
In anger unkind words are said

		 	        G
That make the teardrops fall

	A
Why can't I free your doubtful mind

			       D
And melt your cold cold heart



D
You never know how much it hurts

			A
To see you sit and cry

A
You know you need and want my love

		       D
Yet your afraid to try



D
Why do you run and hide from life

			G
To try it just a'ighnt smart

	A
Why can't I free you doubtful mind

			      D
And melt your cold cold heart



D
There was a time when I believed

			  A
That you belonged to me


A
But now I know your heart is shackled

	D
To a memory


D
The more I learn to care for you

			G
The more we drift apart

	A
Why can't I free your doubtful mind

		   	      D
And melt your cold cold heart

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café

La la la la la la la la Yeah,

Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

Gonna Be A Long Time

It takes a while to get used to the rhythm. In the verse the
time signature goes 3/4 for 2 bars then 2/4 for 1 bar and then
repeats.
