Lonesome Town

Lonesome Town - Ricky Nelson


Verse:1
C                      E7
There's a place where lovers go,
   F          G        C
To cry their troubles away,
 F       Dm        C      Am
And they call it, Lonesome Town,
 F          G7           C
Where the broken hearts stay.


Verse:2  
C              E7
You can buy a dream or two, 
F            G               C
To last you all through the years, 
F        Dm    C       Am
And the only price you pay,
 F    G             C
Is a heart full of tears.


Chorus:  
 F             Em
Goin' down to Lonesome Town,
 F         G             C
Where the broken hearts stay,
 F             Em
Goin' down to Lonesome Town,
    D7              G7 
To cry my troubles away. 


Verse:3 
C             E7
In a town of broken dreams,
      F          G           C
The streets are filled with regret,
 F     Dm      C       Am
Maybe down in Lonesome Town,
F      G        C
I can learn to forget.
 F     Dm     C       Am  
Maybe down in Lonesome Town, 
F      G7        C       C
I can learn to forget, Lonesome Town.
