Cora Is Gone
written by  Mcleod Odell

D                     G                   D
The winds through the night is blowing so lonesome
                A
Singing to me a song
  D                   G           D
A whippoowill call is just a reminder
                  A              D
Pretty girls have hearts made of stone
     G                      D
I'll wake with the blues at dawn
   G       G/F#   G/E A
My darling Cora is    gone
  D                  G           D
I don't know why she told me goodbye
       D/F#     A       G      G/F#    A       D
But my darling Cora is gone my darling Cora is gone

D  G   G  A    D

D                         G               D
The ring that she wears I bought for her finger
                       A
Purchased her ring so fine
D                G              D
Gave her my last green back dollar
               A        D
And now she's left me behind
     G                      D
I'll wake with the blues at dawn
   G       G/F#   G/E A
My darling Cora is    gone
  D                  G           D
I don't know why she told me goodbye
       D/F#     A       G      G/F#    A       D
But my darling Cora is gone my darling Cora is gone
D                   G          D
Drifting alone like brush on a river
                   A
Caring not where I roam
D             G            D
Going to live in the deep forest
                 A         D
Dark hollow will be my new home
     G                      D
I'll wake with the blues at dawn
   G       G/F#   G/E A
My darling Cora is    gone
  D                  G           D
I don't know why she told me goodbye
       D/F#     A       G      G/F#    A       D
But my darling Cora is gone my darling Cora is gone
