---------------------------------------------------------- PAUL McCARTNEY - LONESOME TOWN (Knight) From RUN DEVIL RUN album. Released on October 5th, 1999. ---------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by:PJVillanueva Rock piano chords' pitch is usually too high to be easily played on any guitar (mostly acoustics without a cutaway), so I have tabbed a few bits an octave lower, so that anyone who wants to play that part can do it without any troubles. I have tried to keep the same tones as the original as much as possible. There's a place where lovers go To cry their troubles away And we call it Lonesome Town Where the broken hearts stay You can buy a dream or two To last you all through the years And the only price you pay Is a heart full of tears Going down to Lonesome Town, Where the broken hearts stay I'm going down to Lonesome Town, To cry my troubles away Well now in the town of broken dreams The streets are filled with regret Maybe down in Lonesome Town I can learn to forget SOLO Going down to Lonesome Town, Where the broken hearts stay Yeah, I'm going down to Lonesome Town, To cry my troubles, cry my troubles away In the town of broken dreams The streets are filled with regret Maybe down in Lonesome Town I can learn to forget Maybe down in Lonesome Town I can learn to forget
