Key of G · Chords: I V ii

Verse 1

   G                                      D
Oh somewhere the music’s playing soft and low
    D                               G
And a stranger holds the one that I love so
I was blind I could not see that you meant the world to me
    D                               G
But like a fool I stood and watched you go

Chorus

    G                       D
Now I’m crying my heart out over you
      Am            D             G
Those blue eyes now they smile at someome new
Ever since you went away I die a little more each day
    G                       D
For I’m crying my heart out over you

Verse 2

     G                              D
Each night I climb the stairs up to my room
   D                               G
It seems I hear you whisper in the gloom
I miss your picture on the wall and your footsteps in the hall
          D                   G
While I’m crying my heart out over you.
