Verse 1

C          F                  C
Tear-drops fell the night you said
                             G7
I love you dear and you were wed
  C           F                  C
I watched you while you held her hand
               G7             C
And I bowed my head and cried again

Verse 2

  F                          C
I cried again when I reached home
                           G7
There set your picture all alone
     C          F                      C
I've thought of things that might have been
               G7             C
And I bowed my head and cried again

Verse 3

       F                     C
I took your letters from the shelf
                       G7
And read aloud just to myself
    C    F                    C
But just before I reached the end
               G7             C
And I bowed my head and cried again

Verse 4

     F                         C
I've thought of nights so long ago
                             G7
And an old new love I wanted so
    C        F               C
And then our fate had took a stand
               G7             C
And I bowed my head and cried again
