"Just Plain Lonesome"

The Bellfuries

From the LP, "Just Plain Lonesome"

[Intro]

I thought I was cool

But I'm just another fool

I...

[Verse]

I used to hang around

I'd party all night

C D

Leave my baby at home

She'd sit all alone and cry

Wonderin' why

C D

Her man never even cared to phone

But the tables have turned

And I've finally learned

Em D

I'm gettin' it back in spades

[Chorus]

Plain lonesome (lonesome)

Lonesome (lonesome)

I was an ignorant cat

Now my pompadour's flat

I'm lonesome (lonesome)

Lonesome (lonesome)

Yeah I thought I was cool

But I'm just another fool

Who's lonesome

[Verse]

I never tried and

I always lied

C D

Cared 'bout nobody but me

G B7

But if I had any sense at all

I would'a seen this beauty

Before me

'Cause the tables have turned

And I've finally learned

Em D

I'm gettin' it back in spades

[Chorus]

Plain lonesome (lonesome)

Lonesome (lonesome)

I was an ignorant cat

Now my pompadour's flat

I'm lonesome (lonesome)

Lonesome (lonesome)

Yeah, I thought I was smart

Now there's two broken hearts

I'm so lonesome (lonesome)

Lonesome (lonesome)

I shouldn't 'a' drank

I shouldn't 'a' listened to Hank

I'm so lonesome (lonesome)

Lonesome (lonesome)

Yeah I thought I was cool

But I'm just another fool

Who's lonesome
