[Verse 1]
F           Am
I've got no fire inside of me.
Bb            F
Can't be the man I try to be.
Bb      Bbm               F    Bb C
Oh, Mr. Lonesome, hanging round.
F           Am          Bb
Don't wanna see nobody, don't wanna
F
be nobody.
Bb      Bbm              F  F7
Oh, Mr. Lonesome, got me down.

[Bridge]
Bb          C         F       Bb
He makes me leave the party, when folks
    F
are laughin' hearty.
Bb           C                  F    Bb C
Happiness is one thing he can't stand.

[Verse 2]
F      Am                 Bb
Nobody wants or needs me, I go just
F
where he leads me.
Bb      Bbm             F  F7
Oh, Mr. Lonesome got my hand.

Bb        C          F     Bb
And so my whole life over, each day is
F               Bb             C
like the other, but, still, if my one wish
      F   Bb C
could be.
F           Am                   Bb
If that old chain that binds me, breaks when
F                   Bb      Bbm              F
true love finds me, and Mr. Lonesome sets me free.

Bb      Bbm             F
Oh, Mr. Lonesome got me down.
