This is a mean old world to live in all by yourself
G                       B7
This is a mean world to be alone

Without someone to call your own
G                  E7       A7              D7       G7       C7  G7  D7

I wish I had        someone, who loved me true
D7    G              B7
If I had someone who loved me true
C                      A7
Then I know I wouldn't be so blue
G                  E7       A7               D7        G7       C7  G7  D7

Lord,  this is a mean old world   to live in all  by, by, by, by, all by yourself
G7   E7        A7                 D7
Mean old world  to try and live in  all by,by,by,by,by,by,by, by yourself
G            B7                 C

Sometimes I find myself dreaming I found a love

Sometimes I dream I really   found a love
C                          A7
Someone who loved me true as the stars above
A7   G                  E7                A7     D7     G7    C7  G7
