Chorus:
           A        A7
I'll be a lonesome dove
    D              E           A     F# Bm E
If you don't come home this Christmas
           A        A7
I'll be a lonesome dove
    D             E          A F# Bm E
If you don't fly home this year

 C#
Sit here on my porch and pray that
F#
I'll see headlights through the snow
B
If this doesn't happen, I will
 E       E7
Have to find somebody else to hold

Chorus:
I'll be a lonesome dove
If you don't come home this Christmas
And I'll be a lonesome dove
If you don't fly home to me this year

Slow dance in the pale moonlight
I wish that you were here
If this doesn't go my way
I'll lasso a cowboy to bring me some chip

Chorus:
I'll be a lonesome dove
If you don't come home this Christmas
Don't make me a lonesome dove
My heart just won't take it, baby, this year
Don't make me a lonesome dove
But don't need one more lonesome dove this year
