V2. You can buy a dream or two
To last you all through the years.
And the only price you pay

B     C                 F      F7
Is a heart full of tears. 

 

Chorus

B                      Am

Goin' down to Lonesome Town, 

B                C                      F     F7
Where the broken hearts stay.

B                      Am

Goin' down to Lonesome Town,

     G                            C
To cry my troubles away.  Yeah!

 

V3. In the town of broken dreams,
The streets are filled with regret.
Maybe down in Lonesome Town,

B               C           F      F7
I can learn to forget.
