     [Verse 1]
 
      G                     B
     There's a place where lovers go

     You can buy a dream or two

     To last you all through the years
     C         Cm      G        Em
     And the only price you pay
      C    D             G
     Is a heart full of tears
 
 
     [Chorus]
 
      C             Bm
     Goin' down to lonesome town
      C         D             G    Em
     Where the broken hearts stay
      C     Cm      G        Em
     Goin' down to lonesome town
      C         D        G   D
     To cry my troubles away
 
 
     [Verse 3]
 
      G                     B
     In the town of broken dreams
         C         D        G    Em
     The streets are filled with regret
     C         Cm      G        Em
     Maybe down in lonesome town
      C         D             G    D
     I can learn to forget
