Strum
D-DU-UDU
There  was a man
A  lonely man
Who  lost his love through his indiff'rence
A  heart that cared
  that  went unshared
Until  it died within
  his silence
 And Solitaire's  the only game in town
 And every  road that takes him,
  takes him down
 While  life goes on around him
  everywhere
 Just playing solitaire
  (Same chords)Refrain 1
 And keeping to himself,
  begins to deal
 And still the king of hearts
  is well-concealed
 Anothere losing game comes
  to an end
 And deals them out again
A  little hope
Goes  up in smoke
Just  how it goes,
  goes w/o saying
There  was a man
A  lonely man
Who  would command the
  hand he's  playing.
