Are you [C] lonesome to- [Cmaj7] night, do you miss me to- [Am7] night? Are you [C] sorry we [A7] drifted a- [Dm] part?

Does your [G7] memory stray, to a bright summer day, When I [Dm] kissed you and [G7] called you sweet- [C] heart?

Do the [C7] chairs in your parlour seem [F] empty and bare? Do you [D7] gaze at your doorstep and [Dm] picture me [G7] there?

Is your [C] heart filled with pain; Shall I [D] come back again? Tell me [Dm] dear, are you [G7] lonesome to- [C] night?

Instrumental verse: hum while repeating first three verse chords

Is your [C] heart filled with pain; Shall I [D] come back again? Tell me [Dm] dear, are you [G7] lonesome to- [C] night?
