F           Am
I've got no fire inside of me.
A#            F
Can't be the man I try to be.
A#      A#m                F    A# C
Oh, Mr. Lonesome, hanging round.
F           Am        A#
Don't wanna see nobody, don't wanna
 F
be nobody.
A#      A#m               F  F7
Oh, Mr. Lonesome, got me down.

Chorus:
A#           C         F       A#
He makes me leave the party, when folks
     F
are laughin' hearty.
A#           C                    F   A# C
Happiness is one thing he can't stand.

Nobody wants or needs me,
I go just where he leads me.
Oh, Mr. Lonesome got my hand.

Chorus:
And so my whole life over, each day is
like the other, but, still, if my one wish
could be.

If that old chain that binds me, breaks when
true love finds me,
and Mr. Lonesome sets me free.

Oh, Mr. Lonesome got me down.
