THE LAST WORD IN LONESOME IS ME
words and music: Roger Miller
sung by Eddy Arnold et al

The [C] last word in [G] lonesome is me, the last word in [F] lonesome 
is [C] me
My heart is as lonely as a [F] heart can be [Dm] lonely
The [G] last word in lonesome is [C] me

Too bad what’s happened to [G] our good love, 
Too bad what’s happened to [F] our good [C] love
Sometimes our [C7] best isn’t [F] quite good e[Dm]nough
And the [G] last word in lonesome is [D] me

Repeat first verse, then:
My [C] heart is as lonely as a [F] heart can be lonely
The [G] last word in lonesome is [C] me
