Intro: V-3 IV-0-2-0 Dm G7 C G7 C Em Am Am Are you lonesome tonight, do you miss me tonight? C C7 F F Are you sorry we drifted apart? G G G7 G7 Does your memory stray to a brighter sunny day G7 G7 C C When I kissed you and called you sweetheart? C7 C7 F F Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare? D D Dm G Do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me there? C Em D D Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again? Dm G7 C G7 Tell me dear are you lonesome tonight. (Talking verses,play the same chords) 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 twes 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 'q' Then came act 2, 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 make them bring the curtain down. (sing again) C Em D D Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again? Dm G7 C G7 Tell me dear are you lonesome tonight.
About the artist behind Are You Lonesome Tonight Chords:
Presley began his career as one of the first performers of rockabilly, an uptempo fusion of country and rhythm and blues with a strong back beat. His novel versions of existing songs, mixing "black" and "white" sounds, made him popular—and controversial—as did his uninhibited stage and television performances. He recorded songs in the rock and roll genre, with tracks like "Hound Dog" and "Jailhouse Rock" later embodying the style. Presley had a versatile voice and had unusually wide success encompassing other genres, including gospel, blues, ballads and pop. To date, he has been inducted into four music halls of fame.
In the 1960s, Presley made the majority of his thirty-one movies—mainly poorly reviewed, but financially successful, musicals. In 1968, he returned with acclaim to live music in a television special, and thereafter performed across the U.S., notably in Las Vegas. Throughout his career, he set records for concert attendance, television ratings and recordings sales. He is one of the best-selling and most influential artists in the history of popular music. Health problems plagued Presley in later life which, coupled with a punishing tour schedule and addiction to prescription medication, led to his premature death at age 42.
