[Intro]
G  Bm  C  D 
G  Bm  C  D 


[Verse 1]
 G                     B
There's a place where lovers go
    C         D        G     
To cry their troubles away
C         Cm      G        Em
And they call it Lonesome Town
 C         D             G    D
Where the broken hearts stay (Lonesome town)


[Verse 2]
 G             B
You can buy a dream or two
    C         D               G     
To last you all through the years
C         Cm      G        Em
And the only price you pay
 C    D             G
Is a heart full of tears


[Chorus]
 C             Bm
Goin' down to lonesome town
 C         D             G 
Where the broken hearts stay
 C            Bm        
Goin' down to lonesome town
   A               D
To cry my troubles away


[Verse 3]
 G                     B
In the town of broken dreams
    C             D           G     
The streets are filled with regret
C         Cm      G        Em
Maybe down in lonesome town
 C         D          G    D
I can learn to forget


[Coda]
 C     Cm      G        Em
Maybe down in lonesome town
 C     D        G     C  
I can learn to forget
 G
