Why There's A Tear In My Eye
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:F#
Capo:4th fret
[Intro]
D A D
[Verse 1]
D G
I once loved a beautiful maiden
D A
As fair as the blue skies above
D G
And each night as we wondered together
A D
The moon seemed to smile on our love
G D
We vowed to be true to each other
A
And nothing could cause us to part
D G
But we never once dreamed that the future
A D
Held only a broken heart
G
Then there came the night when we parted
D A
We quarrelled as all sweethearts do
D G
And I learned what it was to be jealous
A D
When they told me our love was untrue
G D
She told me she had always been faithful
A
She swore that her love could not die
D G
And then when I did not believe her
A D
She kissed me and told me goodbye
[Chorus]
D A
Oh-de-lay-ee-oh, de-lay-ee
D
Yo-de-lay-ee
[Interlude]
G D A D
[Verse 2]
D G
I found I had falsely accused her
D A
And went back to make her my bride
D G
And there in the door stood her mother
A D
She told me my sweetheart had died
G D
I went in and knelt down beside her
A
And there in the hush of that room
D G
I prayed that my maker would take me
A D
And send my soul down to its doom
G
So now I have told you the reason
D A
There's always a tear in my eye
D G
Through long weary years I've repented
A D
But I'm longing to lay down and die
G D
And I wonder if I'll be forgiven
A
When I face the master someday
D G
And I wonder if I'll see my sweetheart
A D
On that beautiful shore far away
[Chorus]
D A
Oh-de-lay-ee-oh, de-lay-ee
D
Yo-de-lay-ee
[Outro]
