D               G 
Lonesome number one,
D                     A
Just call me lonesome number one 
D                         G 
Although no titles have I won,
D                A               D
I surely must be lonesome number one 

D                       A
Every love I've had has faded like the dew 
D                          A
Every one I've wanted, has wanted someone new 
D                                 G
Heartaches hang around and always come 
D                A               D
I surely must be lonesome number one 

Chorus

It seems I'm always losing, love just can't come near 
Just when love gets close it always disappears 
Sorrow always keeps me on the run 
I surely must be Lonesome Number One
