The original studio recording is a bit sharp of standard
concert pitch, so to play along use a chromatic tuner and
tune up to approx.(minus)-40 below C#.
Alternatively you will find that, in general, live versions
are more likely to be in standard pitch.
C = x32010 G7 = 323003 G = 320033
C+add9 = x32130 Am7 = x02013 Am = x02210
F = 133211 G/B = x20033 Bb = x13331
Fm = 133111 Em/B = x22000 Ab = 466544

[Verse 1]

I was al - right, for a while, I could smile for a while,
C C+add9
But when I saw you last night, you held my hand so tight,
F Fm
When you stopped to say hel - lo,
C G7
And though you wished me well, you couldn't tell...
[Chorus]
G7 Am7 G/B C Em/B C Em/B
That I'd been crying---- over you, crying---- over you,
F G F G
Then you said, "So long!", left me standing ...all a - lone,
C C+add9 F Fm
Alone and crying, crying, crying, crying,
C Am
It's hard to under - stand,
G C
That the touch of your hand ...can start me crying!
[Verse 2]
C C C
I thought that I ...was over you, but it's true, so true,
C C+add9
I love you even more, than I did before,

But, darling, what can I do, for you don't love me,
G7
And I'll always be...
[Chorus]

Crying---- over you, crying---- over you

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