[Verse 1]
There's a place where lovers go
To cry their troubles away
And we call it Lonesome Town
Where the broken hearts stay

[Verse 2]
Where you can buy a dream or two
To last you all through the years
And the only price you pay
Is heart full of tears

[Bridge]
Going down to Lonesome Town
Where the broken hearts stay
I'm going down to Lonesome Town
To cry my troubles away

[Verse 3]
Well now, in the town of broken dreams
The streets are filled with regret
Maybe down in Lonesome Town
I can learn to forget

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Going down to Lonesome Town
Where the broken hearts stay
Yeah I'm going down to Lonesome Town
To cry my troubles, cry my troubles away

[Verse 3]
In the town of broken dreams
The streets are filled with regret
Maybe down in Lonesome Town
I can learn to forget

[Outro]
Maybe down in Lonesome Town
I can learn to forget

Sir James Paul McCartney, born June 18, 1942, is the single most successful music artist of all time. He found worldwide fame as the bass player and vocalist for The Beatles, and has continued to enjoy commercial success long after the band’s breakup.

His post-Beatles projects—the most lucrative of which was the band Wings, alongside then-wife Linda Eastman—have been met with mixed critical reception but he still retains a substantial public following, regularly conducting worldwide arena tours well into his later years.

His album sales with The Beatles, Wings and solo endeavours combined come to over 100 million, and his net worth was estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion circa 2018. He was knighted in 1997 and is known for his activism.
