Intro: Verse 

   D9            A             D9            A 
Tonight I'm downhearted, for though we have parted 
  F#m         Bm5-/7        A 
I love you and  I  always will 
    Bm                        E7 
And while I'm so lonely, I'm writing you only 
   D9          B7           E7 
To see if you care for me still 

Melody 
E7      A           A7M          C#m7       A6 
Are you lonesome tonight, do you miss me tonight 
        F#m      Edim      Bm   Bm7/E 
Are you sorry we drifted apart 
          D9      E7        Fdim         Bm5-/7 
Does your memory stray to a bright summer day 
       D9             Fdim        E7       A 
When I kissed you and called you "sweetheart" 
         A7                        D         D6 
Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare 
        B7                       E7 
Do you gaze at you doorstep and picture me there 
         A9               A7M            B7 
Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again 
          D9            E7      D9  A 
Tell me, Dear, are you lonesome tonight
