     D5                        B5               A5
In a country house with the windows lit by burning wicks
       G5                 D5                                      A5
And the walls held up by wood and bricks and ghosts that wander 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

Biss: G5 (x2)  D5 (x2)  A5 (x4)
And he's lonesome
And he's lonesome

Verse: D5 (x2)  B5 A5 G5  D5 (x2)  A5 (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

Biss: G5 (x2)  D5 (x2)  A5 (x4)
But now they're lonesome
Yes they're lonesome

Verse/Bridge: G5 D5 B5 A5
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

Biss: G5 (x2)  D5 (x2)  A5 (x4)
'Cause we're lonesome
(Did you ever love somebody?
Did you ever lose someone?)
'Cause we're lonesome
