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

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

Now I know what it means to be worried, To be all lonesome and blue

For the one that I love so dearly, has turned her back on me

Oh, my mind is full of sorrow and my heart is filled with pain

And I'd give all I own just to have you back home. I'm lonesome, so lonesome for you
