Big Girls Dont Cry

[Intro]
[a cappella; chords are implied]:

         G    D    C     D
        Big girls don't cry     [2X]

[Verse 1]

         G   E7   Am  D7    G     E7   Am         D7
        Big girls    don't cry-yi-yi (they don't cry)
         G   E7   Am  D7    G        E7   Am         D7
        Big girls    don't cry (who said, they don't cry)
         G  E7  Am  D7       G     E7  Am      D7
        My girl    said goodbye-yi-yi (my, oh, my)
         G  E7  Am  D7     G      C      G
        My girl    didn't cry (I wonder why)

[Chorus 1]

               E7
        (Silly boy) Told my girl we had to break up
                A7
        (Silly boy) Thought that she would call my bluff
               D7
        (Silly boy) Then she said to my surprise
         G   D     C     D
        Big girls don't cry

[Verse 2]

        Big girls don't cry-yi-yi (they don't cry)
        Big girls don't cry (who said, they don't cry)

[trumpet break over first two lines of verse chords]

        Baby, I was cruel (I was cruel)
        Baby, I'm a fool (I'm such a fool)

[Chorus 2]

        (Silly girl) Shame on you, your mama said
        (Silly girl) Shame on you, you cried in bed
        (Silly girl) Shame on you, you told a lie
        Big girls do cry

Verse 3 [half-length]:

        Big girls don't cry-yi-yi (they don't cry)
        Big girls don't cry (that's just an alibi)

Coda:

         G   D     C     D
        Big girls don't cry     [a cappella 2X, then with bass to fade]
