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

           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
