Lonesome Town
Recorded Ricky Nelson
Written by Baker Knight

C                     E7
There's a place where lovers go
   F         G7       C
To cry their troubles away
F        Fm      C        Am
And they call it Lonesome Town
F         G7            C
Where the broken hearts stay 

              E7
You can buy a dream or two
   F        G7              C
To last you all through the years
F       Fm   C         Am
And the only price you pay
F    G7            C
Is a heart full of tears

F             Em
Goin' down to lonesome town
F         G7            C
Where the broken hearts stay
F             Em
Goin' down to lonesome town
   D7              G7
To cry my troubles away

C              E7
In the town of broken dreams
F               G7            C
The streets are filled with regret
F     Fm      C        Am
Maybe down in lonesome town
F     G7       C
I can learn to forget

F     Fm      C        Am
Maybe down in lonesome town
F     G7       C
I can learn to forget
