Em Am7 Em D9 BbM7 Dm6 E7-9 E7
Each place I go, on - ly the lone - ly go;
C G/B Am7 G G/F# Bm7-5 E7
Some ver - y small ca - fe.
Em Am7 B7 Em B+ Em7 Em6 B7 B7/A*
The songs I know, on - ly the lone - ly know;
Am7 G D9 G G/F#
Each mel - o - dy
E7 D9 G D7 Gdim
Re - calls a love that used to be.
Cdim D9 BbM7 Dm6 E7-9 E7
The dreams I dream, on - ly the lone - ly dream,
C G/B Am7 G G/F# Bm7-5 E7
Of lips as warm as May.
Em Am7 B7 Em B+ Em7 Em6 B7 B7/A*
That hope - less scheme on - ly the lone - ly scheme,
Am7 G D9 G G/F#
That soon, some - where,
E7 D9 G D7 Gdim
You'll find the one that used to care,
Cdim E7 CM7 Bm7
And you'll re - call each fun time.
Edim C C/B Am7 Am7/G GM7
Those pic - nics at the beach, when love was new,
F#7 G Dm7 E7 Am7 Am+7
It well could be the one time
A7 A7/6 D7 Em7 A7 D7
A hope - less lit - tle dream like that comes true.
Cdim Am7 D7 E7/9 Em7/9 Gdim Em7-9 Fdim E
If you find love, hang on to each ca - ress,
Am7 G D9 G Bm7-5 E7-9 E7
And nev - er let love go;
Em Fdim B7 Em Am Em A7/9 B7
For when it's gone, you'll know the lone - li - ness,
Am7 G D9 G G/F# Am7 Cdim D7 G
The heart - break on - ly the lone - ly know.
*The B7/A in line 3 of each verse is a basic B7 chord with the A string played open (x01202) and is probably used nowhere else in this collection.
A huge THANK YOU to JNR from Brazil (jr_76@ig.com.br) for both the suggestion, and for providing the audio source that I used as a basis for this transcription.
