Capo: 1st fret

[Intro]
G

[Verse 1]
G C G C
People up and down Broadway, boots polished and shined
G C D
Searching for Nashville in the new neon lights
G C G C
Sometimes I wonder if they hear an old moan
G D G D
Would they stop for a minute or just keep moving on

[Chorus]
G C G
Cause nobody cares when a steel guitar cries
A7 C D
They don’t even notice anymore, the heartache it hides
C D C G D Em
That high and lonesome is sure lonely tonight
Am Bm C
‘Cause nobody listens, nobody cares
D G D
When a steel guitar cries

[Verse 2]
G C G C
The days of my daddy, they tell me they’re gone
D G C D
‘Cause nobody’s dancing to sad country songs
G C G C
You can’t make me believe that all hope is lost
G D G C D
‘Cause I find redemption when Haggard comes on

[Chorus]
G C G
Nobody cares when a steel guitar cries
A7 C D
They don’t even notice anymore, the heartache it hides
C D C G D Em
That high and lonesome is sure lonely tonight
Am Bm C
‘Cause nobody listens, nobody cares
D G D
When a steel guitar cries
D
Ah, pick it anyway

[Lap Steel Solo]
G C G A7
C D G D

[Bridge]
G C G C
So, I’ll keep on singing for as long as I have
G D
Even if it sounds like a ghost from the past

[Chorus]
G C G
Nobody cares when a steel guitar cries
A7 C D
They don’t even notice anymore, the heartache it hides
C D C G D Em
That high and lonesome is sure lonely tonight
Am G C
‘Cause nobody listens, nobody cares
G
When a steel guitar cries
