G7
Tell me dear are you lonesome tonight?
I wonder if you are lonesome tonight?
You know someone said that the world is a stage
And you must play a part
Fate had me playing in love with you as my sweet heart
Act one was when I met you, I loved you at first glance
You read your line so cleverly and never missed a cue
Then came act two, you seemed to change and you acted strange
And why I'll never know
Honey, you're lying when you said you loved me
And I had no cause to doubt you
But I'd rather go on hearing your lies
Than go on living without you
Now the stage is bare and I'm standing there
With emptiness all around
And if you won't come back to me
Then they can bring the curtain down
C

Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again?

In The Ghetto
1969
<Mac Davis>
C
As the snow flies
Em
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
F
G
C
A poor little baby child is born in the ghetto
And his mama cries
'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
It's another hungry mouth to feed in the ghetto
G
People, don't you understand
F
C
The child needs a helping hand
F
G
C
Or hell grow to be an angry young man some day
C
G
Take a look at you and me
F
C
Are we too blind to see
F
Em
Do we simply turn our heads
F
G
And look the other way
Well the world turns
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows in the ghetto
And his hunger burns
So he starts to roam the streets at night
And he learns how to steal and he learns how to fight in the ghetto
G
Then one night in desperation
F
C
A young man breaks away
F
Em
He buys a gun, steals a car
F
G
Tries to run, but he don't get far
And his mama cries
As a crowd gathers round an angry young man
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand in the ghetto
As her young man dies
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
Another little baby child is born in the ghetto
