Ev'rybody's going out 

 6  -5  6   6
and having fun.

6   -5   6  6    6  
I'm just a fool for 

-5  6     6   6   5 6   -66
staying home and having none.

6   5    6   6 6  5   6   7   7 -6
I can't get over how she set me free.

6     6  6   65
Oh, lonesome me.

Verse 2

A bad mistake I'm making just by hanging 'round
I know that I should have some fun and paint the town.
A lovesick fool that's blind and just can't see.
Oh, lonesome me.

Refrain

  5  -4  -4    -4  -4  -4
I'll bet she's not like me.

-4    -4  -4  -4 -4  -4
She's out and fancy free.

-4  -4    -4   -4  -4   -4   5   6   5-4
Flirting with the boys with all her charms.

-4  -4  -4  -4   -4  -4
But I still love her so

-4  -4 -4   -4    -4  -4
And brother don't you know,

-4   -4 -4  -4   -4   -4   -4   
I'd welcome her right back here 

 5 6  5-4    6
in my arms; well

  6     5  6   6    6  5  6   6
There must be some way I can lose 

  6   -5  6      6
These lonesome blues.

6  -5  6  6   6  -5    6   6
Forget about the past and find

 6 5   6 -66
Somebody new.

 6      5     6   6 6  5    6   7 7 -6
I've thought of everything from A to Z

6     6   6  65
Oh, lonesome me.
