Lonely Side Of Town
Recorded by Kitty Wells
Written by Roy Botkin

An outstanding 'chart-topper' hit in the late 50's/early 60's!

Key of A, no capo needed to play with the Youtube song.


V#1


A                           E7                    A
You're uptown tonight where all the bright lights glow
              D                               A
Where all the honky tonks with wine and music flow
              D                                 A
And I've been walking with these blues since sundown
                       E7             A
Looking for you on the lonely side of town


V#2
 
                        E7                A
I can see the lights of town from where I stand
      D                                  A
Now I know you're having fun and holding hands
         D                          A
I knew tonight when you never came around
                            E7             A
That you had left me on the lonely side of town


Instrumental, about two lines of a verse.


V#3
 
                             E7                   A
Though the life they live up there has lured your heart
              D                                A
To where they dance and slip around till after dark
        D                                  A
Now the wild life and the pretty girls you found
                          E7             A
And you've left me on the lonely side of town


V#4
 
                  E7              A
I wish I could be uptown with you tonight
        D                                        A
For I'm afraid that you've found someone new you like
            D                            A
Now I don't want to give away my wedding gown 
                   E7             A
And be left on the lonely side of town


End
