Bb                                         F 
When the quiet in this old  house shows no mercy 
        Bb                      C Csus C 
And the lonesome just won't go away 
       Bb                        Am        Dm 
That's when your restless spirit haunts me 
      Eb      Bb               F 
And I swear I hear you call my name 
         G                       C 
I always loved the sound of your sweet voice 
             A7                        Dm   Bb 
But now that sound makes my poor heart break 
            F                     Eb 
You're long gone baby that's for certain 
          Bb            C                F   Bb  F 
Cause I'm hurtin when I hear you call my name 
  Bb                  F   Fsus F 
I pray when I pass on over 
        Bb                                       C Csus C 
That we will meet in the place where lost souls  stay 
      Bb                       Am  Dm 
Maybe then when I look over my shoulder 
          Eb           Bb               F 
You'll be there when I hear you call my name 
         G                       C 
I always loved the sound of your sweet voice 
             A7                        Dm   Bb 
But now that sound makes my poor heart break 
            F                     Eb 
You're long gone baby that's for certain 
          Bb            C                Dm  Bb  
Cause I'm hurtin when I hear you call my name 
           F         C                F 
Cause I'm certain  I hear you call my name
