[Intro]
G B7 C G
A7 D7 G G
[Verse 1]
G Bm7 Em Bm7
Moanin' my life slowly away
C G D7 G
Sittin' here waitin' for the new comin' day
G B7 C G
They try to cheer me as I trudge on my way
A7 D7
Moanin' for you
[Verse 2]
G Bm7 Em Bm7
Can't seem to hide it and why should I try
C G D7 G
Good Lord he knows it up there in the sky
G B7 C G
A million heartaches with your last goodbye
A7 D7 G
Left me moanin' for you
[Chorus]
Bm Em
Work these poor fingers on down to the bone
C G A7 D7
When things seemed right my whole world went wrong
G B7 C G
Since I found your letter baby sayin' so long
A7 D7 G
I've been moanin' for you

G Bm7 Em Bm7
They find me alone at the close of the day
C G D7 G
Counting each petal from your old bouquet
G B7 C G
Guess I'll be here 'til eternity
A7 D7
Moanin' for you
[Verse 4]
G Bm7 Em Bm7
This old rocking chair I have rocked it apart
G B7 C G
The last spark of flame on my fireplace is dark
G B7 C G
But this old flame that's burning deep down in my heart
A7 D7
Keeps me moanin' for you
[Chorus]
Bm Em
Work these poor fingers on down to the bone
C G A7 D7
When things seemed right my whole world went wrong
G B7 C G
Since I found your letter baby sayin' so long
A7 D7 G
I've been moanin' for you
