#1.    
    G                      G7  
I'm looking for that lonely street,  
     C                     G  
I've got a sad, sad tale to tell,  
  C                       G  
I need a place to go and weep,  
D                                               C                   G  
where's this place called lonely stree..ee..ee..eet ?  
   
    
#2.  
G                                       G7  
A place where there's just loneliness,  
           C                          G  
where dim lights bring forgetfulness,  
          C                               G  
where broken dreams..and memories meet,  
D                                               C                   G   G7  
where's this place called lonely stree..ee..ee..eet?  
 
Chorus: 
     C                                            G                                     G7  
Perhaps upon that lonely street..there's someone such as I,  
      C                                                      G                          D  
who came to bury broken dreams and watch an old love die.  
   
#3.    
  G                     G7  
If I could find that lonely street,  
          C                           G  
where dim lights bring forgetfulness,  
           C                             G  
where broken dreams and memories meet,  
D                                                C                  G  
where's this place called lonely stree..ee..ee..eet ?  
D                                                 C                  G  
Where's this place called lonely stree..ee..ee..eet ?
