(Lone some Town.)

You can buy a (E7)dream or two

And the (Fm)on ly (C)price you (Am)pay

is a (G7)heart full of (C)tears.

(Full of tears.)

Go in’ down to (Em)Lone some Town,

where the (G7)bro ken hearts (C)stay;

go in’ down to (Em)Lone some Town,

to (D7)cry my trou bles a (G7)way.

In the town of (E7)bro ken dreams

the (F)streets are (G9)paved with re (C)gret;

I can (G7)learn to for (C)get.

(To for get.)

may be (Fm)down in (C)Lone some (Am)Town

I can (G7)learn to for (C)get.

(Lone some Town.)
