D(5)

I was all right for awhile, I could smile for awhile.

D(5)                                  D+

But I saw you last night, you held my hand real tight,

       G(3)               Gm(3)

As you stopped to say "Hello."

        D(5)            A7(5)

Oh, you wished me well, you couldn't tell,

 

CHORUS:

              D      F#m       D      F#m

That I'd been crying over you, crying over you.

     G             A7             G             A7

When you said, "So long", left me standing all alone.

          D       D+      G       Gm

Alone and crying, crying, crying, crying.

             D                   A7                              D

It's hard to understand, but the touch of your hand can start me crying.

 

I thought that I, was over you; but it's true, oh, so true.

I love you even more than I did before.

But, darling, what can I do?

For you don't love me and I'll always be...

 

CHORUS:

D      F#m       D      F#m

Crying over you, crying over you.

G               A7        G                A7

Yes, now you're gone, and from this moment on

        D       D+      G       Gm

I'll be crying, crying, crying, crying,

      D          Bm  G A7 D   A7   D   G   D

Yeah, crying, crying over you.
