  Well, it's lonesome in this old town, everybody puts me down,

              G                     C                G

    I'm a face without a name, just walking in the rain.

    I got holes in both of my shoes,

                       G                             C

    well, I'm a walking case of the blues,

               G                  C                  G

    saw a dollar yesterday, but the wind blew it away.

    I haven't eaten in about a week,

                G                                    C

    I'm so hungry when I walk I squeak,

     G                         C             G

    nobody calls me friend, it's sad the shape I'm in.

                             G             D            G          - D

   I got a girl waiting there for me, well, at least she said she'd be,
