[Intro] A E A E A E B E [Verse 1]
      A     E            A       E
I'm broken hearted, I'm a broken man.

A         E              B       E
Driven by anger, on that night I ran.

  A        E               A      E
I had me a woman, and only she be true.

       A           E                   B        E
But she's gone and left me, you know my life is through.
[Chorus]
A      E              A      E
Lonely weekend, baby, lonely nights.

    A        E        B    E
The judge he gave me 99 to life.
[Interlude] A E A E A E B E [Verse 2]
  A             E               A            E
I wish she could be here, Lord, if she only could.

  A           E            B         E
Instead she's layin', in a puddle of blood.

      A          E              A           E
Well, she was my baby, I thought she'd be my wife.

   A        E              B           E
I killed my baby, I killed her with my knife.
[Chorus]
A      E              A      E
Lonely weekend, baby, lonely nights.

    A        E        B    E
The judge he gave me 99 to life.
[Solo] A E A E A E B E A E A E A E B E [Verse 3]
  A          E             A      E
So alone I'm sittin', in my prison cell.

 A        E                   B      E
Lord only knows now, I'm in a living hell.

    A          E            A      E
The rest of my life, in this penitentiary,

   A          E                  B            E
The good Lord above now, please have mercy on me.
[Chorus]
A      E              A      E
Lonely weekend, baby, lonely nights.

    A        E        B    E
The judge he gave me 99 to life.
[Chorus]
A      E              A      E
Lonely weekend, baby, lonely nights.

    A        E        B    E
The judge he gave me 99 to life.
