When someone has left you blue, and you  

don't know what to do. 
                            C

you're restless night and day. 
                        D      Bm D  Em 
Join a lonely heart, my friend.......knock

three times and come on in.

When your blues are here to stay, every hour,  

every day.

And your dreams all fade away, and your heart  

has got to pay.

can't smile, although you try.

And if you're lonesome as can be.....and you need  
           G 
some sympathy. 
                             D       Em    D 
Just join a lonely heart, my friend, knock three

times and come on in.

And if you're lonesome as can be.....and you need  
           G 
some sympathy. 
                             D       Em    D
