[Intro]
       
       


[Verse 1]
             
There's a plac

         
e where lovers

 go
             
To cry their t

             
roubles away
           
And they call 

            
it Lonesome To


wn
            
Where the brok

             
en hearts stay

  
 (Lonesome tow

n)


[Verse 2]
             
You can buy a 

 
dream or two
             
To last you al

             
l through the 

       
years
           
And the only p

            
rice you pay
            
Is a heart ful

      
l of tears


[Chorus]
             
Goin' down to 

 
lonesome town
            
Where the brok

            
en hearts stay
             
Goin' down to 

        
lonesome town
             
To cry my trou

     
bles away


[Verse 3]
             
In the town of

         
 broken dreams
             
The streets ar

             
e filled with 

       
regret
           
Maybe down in 

            
lonesome town
            
I can learn to

            
 forget


[Coda]
           
Maybe down in 

         
lonesome town
            
I can learn to

         
 forget
 
   (Lonesome t
