  37 <p>The lyrics differ somewhat from Ricky Nelson's, on minor points (such
  38 as the change of &ldquo;In the town of broken dreams&rdquo; to &ldquo;There's a town
  39 . . .&rdquo;).</p>

  45 There's a place where lovers go
  46 F            G(11)     C     (/d-e)
  47 To cry their troubles away,
  48 F        (Dm)    C        Am
  49 And they call it lonesome town,
  50 Dm        G(11)         C     G(11)
  51 Where the broken hearts stay.
  52
  53 You can buy a dream or two
  54 To last you all through the years,
  55 And the only price you pay
  56 Is a heart full of tears.
