Lyrics

Ev ’ry bod y’s go in’ out and (G7)hav in’ fun;

I’m just a fool for stay in’ home and (C)hav in’ none.

I can’t get o ver (C7)how she set me (F)free.

(Gdim)Oh,

(G7)lone some (C)me.

A bad mis take I’m mak in’ by just (G7)hang in’ ’round;

I know that I should have some fun and (C)paint the town.

A love sick fool that’s (C7)blind and just can’t (F)see.

(Gdim)Oh,

(G7)lone some (C)me.

A (C)me.

I’ll (G)bet she’s not like me; she’s (D7)out and fan cy free,

flirt ing with the boys with all her (G)charms,

but I still love her so, and (D7)broth er don’t you know I’d wel come her right back here in my (G)arms.

Well, there (C)must be some way I can lose these (G7)lone some blues,

for get a bout the past and find some (C)bod y new.

I’ve thought of ev ’ry (C7)thing from A to (F)Z.

(Gdim)Oh,

(G7)lone some (C)me.

(Gdim)Oh,

(G7)lone some (C)me.
