This Irving Berlin song is not very well known.
I like this version by Aileen Stanley - no capo needed to play along:

[Verse 1]
G        F#     G
I'm so unhappy, what'll I do? I long for
D                      G     D     A7  D7
somebody who will sympathise with  me  I'm
G          F#       G
growing so tired of living alone  I lie
 A                                                D     D7
awake all night and cry - nobody loves me, that's why
 
[Chorus 1]
G                    A7
All by myself in the morning
D7                   G     G#dim  A7  D7
All by myself in the night
G                F#          B7
I sit alone in a cosy Morris chair
Em         A      Am7         D7
So unhappy there, playing solitaire
G                   A7
All by myself I get lonely
D                         B7
Watching the clock on the shelf I'd love to
C             Gdim               G
rest my weary head on somebody's shoulder
E                A7    D           G     G7 F#7 F7 G
  I hate to grow older    all by myself

[Verse 2]
G           F#     G
My name and number are in the book - the one that
D                           G  D   A7    D7
hangs on the hook in almost every  drug  store
G             F#   G
Why don't somebody bother to look? My central
A                                           D       D7
tells me all day long "Sorry, the number is wrong"
 
[Chorus 2]
G                    A7
All by myself in the morning
D7                   G     G#dim  A7  D7
All by myself in the night
G                F#                  B7
I never have any sweethearts call on me these
Em                 A     Am7       D7
four walls seem to be my only company
G                     A7
All by myself it's so dreary
D                         B7
Watching the clock on the shelf - there must be
C                 Gdim              G
someone knows the loving I could be giving
E               A7     D          G     G7 F#7 F7 G
  Yet I keep on living   all by myself
