Only one and only
by Gillian Welch/David Rowlings                                        Gilian Welch

capo I

     D      
There's a hundred bluebird
G
Up above the clouds
A7                                     D
Putting all the color in the sky

And twice as many tear drops
G
There to wash it down
A7                                 D
Every one's another lullabye

         A7                   D
But there's only and only
           A7                             G  A7
Who could go and leave me lonely
D      
There's a world of trouble
G
Trying to take its turn
A7                                       D
I can hear it shaking underground

And half a dozen lessons
G
I might never learn
A7                                            D
Not until them troubles come around


but there's only and only

Who could go and leave me lonely


There's a mile of blacktop

Where the road begins

It takes a time or two to recognize

Growing at the roadside

Scattered by the wind

Are everybody's unsaid sad goobyes


But there's only one and only

Who could go and leave me lonely

You're the only one and only

Why'd you go and leave me lonely.
