Disclaimer: I do not own the lyrics to this song. I hereby disclaim all attributions,

Note from contributor:
The chord shapes in parantheses () are additional chords to make the song sound more blues-y.
The chord shapes in brackets [] are chord shapes the contributor prefers to use
(they replace the chord preceding them; left according to the guitarist's judgment).
These chords may not be precise; they are written down by ear and a guitar was played
along with the song.
The bridge is the trickiest part, it is most probably imprecise.
A (A7)
Once again it's happening
D E (E7) A
Oh, this love is unrequited
A (A7)
Twice the pain the suffering
D E (E7) A
Oh, my love is unrequited
D E (E7) A
Oh, my love is unrequited
A
Mmmmm...
A (A7)
That must mean I'll live again
D E (E7) A
And get back what I gave my men
D E (E7) A
Get back what I lost to them
A (A7)
Oh, the shame this crying game
D E (E7) A
Oh, my love I've been denied it
D E (E7) A
Oh, my love is unrequited
A
(Ahhh...)
A [Amaj7 ?]
(Chua, chua...) And I know it so well
A [A7]
(Chua, chua...) I could play it by ear
D
(Chua, chua...) Looking back at myself
D [Dm]
(Chua, chua...) While the violin plays
A
(Chua, chua...) And blue is my tune
A [Amaj7]
(Chua, chua...) Another stitch to my wound
D
(Chua, chua...) Another inch in this dwell
E (E7)
I know it all too well
A (A7)
When once again it's happening
D E (E7) A
Oh, our love has gone divided
D E (E7) A
Oh, my love is unrequited
D E (E7) A (A7)
Oh, my love is unrequited
D E (E7) A (A7)
Oh, my love is unrequited
D E (E7) A
Oh, my love is unrequited
