Lonesome Town Chords & Tabs
----------------------------------------------------------
PAUL McCARTNEY - LONESOME TOWN (Knight) From RUN DEVIL RUN
album. Released on October 5th, 1999.
----------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by:PJVillanueva
Rock piano chords' pitch is usually too high to be easily
played on any guitar (mostly acoustics without a cutaway),
so I have tabbed a few bits an octave lower, so that anyone
who wants to play that part can do it without any troubles.
I have tried to keep the same tones as the original as much
as possible.
There's a place where lovers go
To cry their troubles away
And we call it Lonesome Town
Where the broken hearts stay
You can buy a dream or two
To last you all through the years
And the only price you pay
Is a heart full of tears
Going down to Lonesome Town,
Where the broken hearts stay
I'm going down to Lonesome Town,
To cry my troubles away
Well now in the town of broken dreams
The streets are filled with regret
Maybe down in Lonesome Town
I can learn to forget
SOLO
Going down to Lonesome Town,
Where the broken hearts stay
Yeah, I'm going down to Lonesome Town,
To cry my troubles, cry my troubles away
In the town of broken dreams
The streets are filled with regret
Maybe down in Lonesome Town
I can learn to forget
Maybe down in Lonesome Town
I can learn to forget
