Lonesome Town

[B]. Knight
     Recorded by Ricky Nelson, from the LP `Ricky Sings Again'.

     [G]   [Em]   [C]   [D]

     T[G]here's a place where l[B]overs go
     To c[C]ry their t[D]roubles a[G]way  [Em]
     [C]And they c[Cm]all it L[G]onesome T[Em]own
     W[C]here the b[D]roken hearts s[G]tay [[D]Lonesome town]

     You can buy a dream or two
     To last you all through the years
     And the only price you pay
     I[C]s a h[D]eart full of t[G]ears

     Chorus/bridge:

     G[C]oin' down to l[Bm]onesome town
     W[C]here the b[D]roken hearts s[G]tay  [Em]
     G[C]oin' d[Cm]own to l[G]onesome t[Em]own
     T[C]o cry my t[D]roubles a[G]way [D]

     In the town of broken dreams
     The streets are filled with regret
     Maybe down in lonesome town
     I can learn to forget

     M[C]aybe d[Cm]own in l[G]onesome t[Em]own
     I[C] can l[D]earn to f[G]orget [C]
     [[G]Lonesome town]

     Ricky's answer to `Heartbreak Hotel' with a healthy dash of The
     Fleetwood's `Mr. Blue' thrown in.
