 E 
Ever since my baby left me, 

I found a new place to dwell. 
                             E7 
It's down at the end of lonely street at Heartbreak Hotel. 

(Chorus:) 
           A7 
          You make me so lonely baby, I get so lonely, 
          B7                       E 
          I get so lonely  I could die. 

E 
And although it's always crowded, 

you still can find some room. 
                            E7 
Where broken hearted lovers do cry away their gloom. 
(repeat Chorus) 

E 
Well, the Bell hop's tears keep flowin', 

and the desk clerk's dressed in black. 

Well they been so long on lonely street 
            E7 
They ain't ever gonna look back. 
(repeat Chorus) 

E 
Hey now, if your baby leaves you, 

and you got a tale to tell. 
                            E7 
Just take a walk down lonely street to Heartbreak Hotel. 
(repeat Chorus and fade) 

ENJOY!
