Very simple song, the chords for both guitars are the same all the way through, one playing 'chugga chugga'
power chords and the other playing full chords (hence the Bm's).
The ending is a little ad lib but I think I've got the lyrics right.
Intro:  D   Bm   G  A  
Verse 1:
Dear miss Dlonely hearts, I had to write this letter, Bmto tell you how I came to meet her 
GShe was sweet but I dated her sister, Athat's how I made my mistake and I can't forget her 
I felt Ddepressed till a friend of mine suggested that I Bmwrite to this address
So unless you can find a Gcure for my loneliness it will persist, Ait will persist 
Chorus: 
DLonely boy looking for another Bmlonely girl to love one another
GLonely hearts turn to each other, Alonely souls, lonely souls
Verse 2: 
Dear Dlonely boy I doubt if my reply will Bmbring much joy, it seems from your letter  
that you Glied, or strongly implied, that you were Asatisfied to take her sister by your side
DI became distressed at your total lack of tactBmfulness 
So at best all I can suggest Gis that you resist and you put an end to such Athoughts of silliness
Chorus:
DLonely boy looking for another Bmlonely girl to love one another
GLonely hearts turn to each other, Apoor lonely soul
Solo:  D   Bm   G   AX2
Verse 3:
Dear miss Dlonely hearts I've got problems, Bmyou're the only one I know that can solve them  
GI love a girl but I'm dating her sister Aand if I persist in my pursuit I will kiss her
DDear lonely girl I doubt if this reply will Bmbring much joy 
But you must not trust this Gboy, you must not lust this boy, reAsist and do not kiss this boy  
Chorus: 
DLonely boy looking for another Bmlonely girl to love one another
GLonely hearts turn to each other, Alonely souls, I'm a lonely soul
Ending (to fade):
DLonely boy, I'm writing, Bmlonely girl, looking for a lonely girl  
GLonely hearts, I'm lonely, Alonely soul 
I've got Dproblems you can solve them, Bmlonely girl 
I'm writing to dear miss Glonely hearts, for I'm a Alonely soul  
Yours sincerely, Dlonely boy, Bmlonely girl, must be attractive
GLonely hearts, please send a photo, Alonely soul 
One Dlonely boy is looking for another Bmlonely girl, to love one another 
GLonely hearts, lonely hearts, Aanswer me, answer my plea, answer me  
DLonely boy, looking for a female Bmlonely girl 
GLonely heart, please send details, Alonely soul
