Lyrics

(C)Ah,

look at all the lone ly (Em)peo ple!

(C)Ah,

look at all the lone ly (Em)peo ple!

El ea nor Rig by picks up the rice in the church where a wed ding has been;

lives in a dream.

Waits at the win dow, wear ing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door;

who is it for?

(Em7)All the lone ly (Em6)peo ple,

where (C)do they all come (Em)from?

(Em7)All the lone ly (Em6)peo ple,

where (C)do they all be (Em)long?

Fa ther Mc Ken zie, writ ing the words of a ser mon that no one will hear;

no one comes near.

Look at him work ing, darn ing his socks in the night when there’s no bod y there;

what does he care?

(Em7)All the lone ly (Em6)peo ple,

where (C)do they all come (Em)from?

(Em7)All the lone ly (Em6)peo ple,

where (C)do they all be (Em)long?

(Em)long?

(Em)long?
