C
If your heart has known such pain

Until for death it's crying
F                C
Only to have the Lord refuse
                         G7
Then you've been near my side


C
If in your heart somehow you know
       C7                F
You'll fail whatever you do
                       C
Then you have walked a road of pain
                G7       C
Yes you've been lonesome too


F                    C
If you have had each joy of life
F                  C
Destroyed and cast away
F                       C
Then watch a heart that once knew love
                   G7
Grow sadder day by day


C
If your soul is wilted like a rose
       C7             F
That's never felt the dew
                        C
You're traveling on the street of grief
                G7       C
Yes you've been lonesome too


If for your wasted wicked life

Your soul cries out in shame
F                     C
And you could live it all again
                  G7
It'd never be the same


C
If you've cried God please bless the one
   C7         F
To whom I was untrue
                      C
You've lived the life of regret
                G7       C
Yes you've been lonesome too


F                        C
If when the storms light up the skies
F                     C
It seems you can't go on
F                       C
Then from a vision your darling comes
                     G7
You speak but she is gone


C
If then the tears flood down your cheeks
        C7              F
There's no one else for you
                    C
Then you can't ever hide from fate
                G7       C
Yes you've been lonesome too
