Chords/Tabulature for
Oh, Lonesome Me

Submitted by: Steven A. Kohm (sakohm@sfu.ca)

Notes about this song:

• This song written by Don Gibson.
• There are several layers of guitar on this track, the main one of which seems to be playing the song higher up the neck.
• That guitar probably has a capo on the 4th fret, which certainly makes the bridge a lot easier to play.
• The version submitted below is for standard tuning without a capo.
• For reference, the chord shapes for use with a capo on the 4th fret are also provided (in parenthesis below).

Flirting with the boys with all her charms

I'd welcome her right back here in my arms
