I Know What It Means To Be Lonesome

Key of C · Chords: I IV V VII

Chorus

  G                     C
I know what it means to be lonesome
      F                     Bb
And I know what it means to be blue
  G                     C
I know what it means to be lonesome in dreams
     F                       Bb
When there is no one at home for you

Verse 1

     G               C
Well my baby left me this morning
   F             Bb
As the clock was striking four
    G                     C
The sweet smiling face of my darling
  F             Bb
I may never see any more

Verse 2

     G                               C
Well I’ve cried and I’ve cried since we parted
   F                     Bb
No one knows what I have been through
    G                       C
You know I’d give all I own just to have you back home
    F                  Bb
I’m lonesome, lonesome for you
