Lonesome Town Chords & Tabs

by Ricky Nelson

[Verse 1]
C                      E7       
There's a place where lovers go,
   F          G        C   
To cry their troubles away,
 F       Fm        C      Am    
And they call it, Lonesome Town,
 F          G7           C   
Where the broken hearts stay.

[Verse 2]
C              E7          
You can buy a dream or two,
F            G               C    
To last you all through the years,
F        Fm    C       Am  
And the only price you pay,
 F    G             C    
Is a heart full of tears.

[Chorus]
 F             Em           
Goin' down to Lonesome Town,

To cry my troubles away.
