[Intro]
B
 
[Verse 1]
B
Well, whatever happened to Lonesome Dave?
B
Used to play in a rock 'n' roll band
B
He'd be up and on the stage
 
All the kids would raise their hands
             A
But oh, then disco came
 
Nothing lasts for long
B
Oh, it's such a shame
                 E
Lonesome Dave is gone
 
[Verse 2]
B
Well, he'd be up there rockin' out
B
Three-hundred-sixty-five days a year
B
Lightnin' Boogie and Amy's Blues
B
Play it so loud that it hurt my ears
    A
And oh, somethin' went wrong
 
Yeah, the times have changed
B
Now it's a different song
                 E
Lonesome Dave is gone
E
All right, Dave!
 
[Bridge]

Yeah!

[Verse 3]
B
Well, three P.M. at the Holiday Inn
B
The room service coming on a tray
B
Tuna melt and an orange juice
B
It was heaven there for Lonesome Dave
     A
But, oh, that disco came
 
Oh, the times have changed
B
Now it's a different song
                 E
Lonesome Dave is gone
 
[Verse 4]
      B
Well, I wish I was Lonesome Dave
B
I'd lay up with the girls all night
B
I'd run round in the parking lot
 
I'd drink some beer and get into fights
    A
But oh, it's only me
B
Now it's a different song
 
What will be, will be
                 E
Lonesome Dave is gone
E
All right, Dave

God, I know, we all love him, man
A

Yeah, the crowd would yell
B
Time is moving on

Lonesome Dave is gone
 
Bye bye, Dave!
