THAT'S WHAT LONELINESS WILL DO 031811 - SOMEWHERE

Probably anyone who plays the guitar could write this song….
Someone asked if I was actually in Spain in 2003. Actually, 2000. Working on the movie, THE STONE RAFT with George Sluizer, from a book by Jose Saramago.
Inspired by something Jenni Peal said during a song circle at Half-Priced Books in Dallas back in 2011.

THAT’S WHAT LONELINESS WILL DO - 031811
Capo @ 2 in C

  C                             

My triple O (ooo) will cry out when I leave her on the wall
G
When she sees me taking Blondie to sing at Herman’s Hall
F
She knows I’ll play Solitaire and she wrote that song with me
C G
Somewhere in the North of Spain back in two thousand three

The muffled voice of Shenandoah as she curses in her case
Demands I open up right now and look her in her face
She knows that I’ll sing our song before the night is thru
And she has every right to be there and I know it’s true
G
THAT’S WHAT LONELINESS WILL DO

I talk to my guitars and they talk back to me
They know what I know and they see what I see
And when we play together they know what to do
They remember all our songs and they remember you

THAT’S WHAT LONELINESS WILL DO

                        F

It will have you talking to guitars
Blaming scars on falling stars
C G
Hanging your coat in neighborhood bars
F G
I’m telling you

THAT’S WHAT LONELINESS WILL DO

I guess I’m talking to myself. That sounds like something I would do
I talk to the dogs and cats, and, of course I talk to you (7-17-23)
And I talk to pots and pans and plates and forks and knives and spoons
At that memory-laden table (table you painted) where we spent our years with you

THAT’S WHAT LONELINESS WILL DO

It will have you talking to guitars
Blaming scars on falling stars
Leaving your coat in neighborhood bars
But I don’t have to tell you

THAT’S WHAT LONELINESS WILL DO

THAT’S WHAT LONELINESS WILL DO
