D*           G*                D
Lonesome     Lonesome   I feel lonesome

   A  A7      D
If I..I..were you
[Verse 1]
D                    Dsus2           G      G6
Look at me, counting sheep up on the ceiling

    A7              A                   D  A
Wondering if you're out there counting, too

         D            Dsus2                G      G6
Way down low, I don't know just how you're feeling

           D           A  A7       D
But I'd be lonesome if I..I.. were you.
[Verse 2]
D                 Dsus2          G    G6
I'd be calling me up to say "I'm sorry--

          A7                  A              D    A
How could I have thought that you and I were through?"

       D         Dsus2         G    G6
I'd be kicking myself for ever leaving

       D           A  A7       D
I'd be lonesome if I..I.. were you.
[Chorus]
      F#m            F#              Bm
Funny thing  all the while you go on smiling

     Em            G6/B              G  A
It's lucky I don't stand inside your shoes

         D                Dsus2
'Cause I know for certain I

           G                  G6
Would just lay right down and die

            D           A  A7       D 
Yes, I'd be lonesome if I..I.. were you.
[Instrumental] | D | D | G G6 | A A7 | | D A | D | Dsus2 | G | | G6 | D | A A7 | D | [Verse 3]
D                   Dsus2             G    G6
Wish I had back the life you've taken from me

        A                 A7               D  A
What is life, when you're so heartsick and blue?

        D               Dsus2            G   G6
Did you think you could spend it all without me?

             D           A  A7       D
Well, I'd be lonesome if I..I.. were you.
[Chorus]
      F#m            F#              Bm
Funny thing  all the while you go on smiling

     Em            G6/B              G  A
It's lucky I don't stand inside your shoes

         D                Dsus2
'Cause I know for certain I

           G                  G6
Would just lay right down and die

            D           A  A7       D 
Yes, I'd be lonesome if I..I.. were you

       D           A  A7       D
I'd be lonesome if I..I.. were you.
[Outro]
D      D*           G*                D
I'd be lonesome     Lonesome   I feel lonesome

   A  A7      D     D*
If I..I..were you
