Intro: E A D G (2x)
E A D G
Now I know what it means to be lonesome, and I know what it means to be blue
E A D G
And I know what it means to be lonesome in dreams, when there's someone missing you
E A D G
'Cause I've cried and I've cried since we've parted. No one knows what I’ve gone through
E A D G
And I'd give all I own just to have you back home, ’cause I'm lonesome, so lonesome for you
Instrumental E A D G (2x)
E A D G
My best friend left me this morning, as the clock was striking four
E A D G
And the smiling face of my darling, I may not see no more
E A D G
Now I know what it means to be worried, To be all lonesome and blue
E A D G
For the one that I love so dearly, has turned her back on me
Instrumental E A D G (2x)
E A D G
Oh, my mind is full of sorrow and my heart is filled with pain
E A D G
And I feel so broken-hearted, won't you please come back again
E A D G
'Cause I've cried and I've cried since we've parted. No one knows what I've gone through
E A D G
And I'd give all I own just to have you back home. I'm lonesome, so lonesome for you
