Tuning: Standard
Capo 3rd fret
Verse: D (x2) B A G D (x2) A (x4)
In a [D]country house with the wi[B]ndows lit by bur[A]ning wicks
And the[G] walls held up by [D]wood and bricks and ghosts that wander [A]through
An old man died, but the help won't come till Monday next
And he's gone to meet the architects of the only world he knew
Chorus: G (x2) D (x2) A (x4)
And he's lonesome
And he's lonesome
Verse: D (x2) B A G D (x2) A (x4)
And the family mourned, at the wake he lay in front of them
Just as silent as he'd ever been to any young child's eyes
And by buried skin, they shed their laughter and their tears
The pain of all those early years where innocence had died
Chorus: G (x2) D (x2) A (x4)
But now they're lonesome
Yes they're lonesome
Verse/Bridge: G D Bm A
Memorials that we may build
They won't the holes forever fill
There is a deep and aching chill
That settles in our bones
In our bones
Chorus: G (x2) D (x2) A (x4)
'Cause we're lonesome
(Did you ever love somebody?
Did you ever lose someone?)
'Cause we're lonesome
Outro:
In a[D] country house with the wi[B]ndows all lit[A] up
