Eddy Arnold – Where Lonely People Go (Guitar)

       E
It was late at night as well as I remember

        A
She was sitting in an empty bus depot

B7
No one had to tell me she was lonely

      E      
Cause I know all the places where lonely people go

    E
She smiled but then I knew that she'd been crying

    A
I'm sure she didn't mean for it to show

B7   
But I can tell when someone's heart is broken

      E
Cause I've known all the heartaches that lonely people know

  E                             
I said come live with me, she answered why not

            A
And if it's wrong, I said, we'll make it right

B7
But right or wrong we belong together

      E
Cause lonely people need each other, especially at night

F
She said to me don't promise me tomorrow

     Bb
Just give as much today as you can spare

C7    
Cause if we start to look ahead tomorrow

   F
We may run out of time before we're there

F
I've had lovers, I've had friends, and I can tell you

Bb
Friends will help you get your troubles off your mind

    C7
But lovers they bring all their troubles with them

              F
And when they leave you they leave a lot of loneliness behind

F#
She wasn't strong, but life don't last forever

B
Still I thought we'd have at least a year or so

C#7
But then one day she packed it in and left me

  F#
I guess the good Lord promised her a better place to go

  F#
I told myself this really didn't happen

  B
I tried to pray as I began to kneel

  C#7
I looked down at the place where they had put her

     F#
When I touched the dirt I knew that it was real

     F# 
Well tonight I'll find some all night bar that's open

B
I may run into someone there I know

C#7
Cause when you're down, you need someone to talk to

    F#
And I know all the places where lonely people go.
