C                  E7
There's a place where lovers go
F              G7       C  Dm7 C7/E
To cry their troubles away
F         Fm      C   G/B  A7
And they call it Lonesome Town
D7         G7             C  G7
Where the broken hearts stay

Well you can buy a dream or two
To last you all through the years
And the only price you pay
D7    G7            C   C7
Is a heart full of tears

F              Em
Going down to Lonesome Town
F          G7             C  C7
Where the broken hearts stay
F               Em
Going down to Lonesome Town
D7                   G7
To cry my troubles away

In the town of broken dreams
The streets are filled with regret
Maybe down in Lonesome Town
I can learn to forget

Going down to Lonesome Town
Where the broken hearts stay
Going down to Lonesome Town
To cry my troubles away

In the town of broken dreams
The streets are filled with regret
Maybe down in Lonesome Town
D7     G7          C  C7
I can learn to forget

F      Fm      C  G/B   A7
Maybe down in Lonesome Town
D7     G7          C  F C/E Dm7 C
I can learn to forget
