INTRO:  Strum  in  "E" 
 
VERSE ONE 
E          E7                 A 
Why must I love the heartless one 
    B      B7                  E 
Who never knows the harm she's done 
E              E7                  A  
Though love is blind I should have known 
     B        B7               E 
Just call me lonesome from now on 
 
VERSE TWO 
  E         E7              A 
I climb the stairs up to my room 
    B       B7            E  
But no-one meets me in my gloom 
E           E7              A 
The silence tells me she is gone

Just call me lonesome from now on

VERSE THREE 
      E          E7             A 
These walls will hide me when I cry 
    B          B7             E 
and hope that heavens lets me die 
 E           E7                A  
What good is life when hope is gone

will fade into the distant past 
E          E7            A 
If I must live and love alone 
     B        B7               E    ...end 
Just call me lonesome from now on.
