THE ONE I LOVE IS GONE (Bill Monroe)
------------------------------------
[Actually in Bbm; capo 1.]
[Each chord is one measure.]
[In the live acoustic version (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oercCWMVO1Q
 or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13VqsdA0Mmo), they play slightly 
 different chords, as follows:
 VERSE: Am D Am Am, Am D E E7, Am D Am Am, Am E Am Am
 BRIDGE: D D Am Am, D G E E7, Am Am D Am, Am E Am Am
 (The D instead of Dm gives it a very different feel.)]

[intro]

        Am            Dm              Am              Am
I don't know, I don't know where I'll go or what I'll do
            Am                   Dm         E    E7
It makes no difference what I'll do without you
      Am           Dm                Am              Am
Oh, I love you, my darling, but I'll try and let you be
    Am         E7                     Am   Am
Goodbye, it's the last you'll hear of me

        D       Dm            Am            Am 
Well, I found a bluebird high on a mountain side
        Dm                G               C     E7
And the little bird would sing its little song
        Am         Am      Dm         Am
So I'll sigh, I'll cry I'd even wanna die
        Am    E       Am   Am
For the one I love is gone

Am  Dm  Am  Am    Am  Dm  E  E7    Am  Dm  Am  Am    Dm  E  Am  Am
[interlude]

        Dm      Dm            Am            Am 
Well, I found a bluebird high on a mountain side
        Dm                G               C     E7
And the little bird would sing its little song
        Am         Am      Dm         Am
So I'll sigh, I'll cry I'd even wanna die
        Am    E        Am   Am.
For the one I love has gone
