A7 D
[Verse 1]
D A7
Many tears ago you said you'd love me
D
Oh how happy was this heart of mine
A7
Then a dark cloud came from out of nowhere
D D7
And the sun went down no more to shine
[Verse 2]
G D
Many tears ago I learned too well, love
A7
What it means to bear a heavy load
D A7
I found out just what is meant by sorrow
D
Many tears ago along life's road
[Verse 3]
A7
Many tears ago I built a castle
D
Built it very strong and very tall
A7
Though I thought it had a firm foundation
D D7
Many tears ago I saw it fall
[Verse 4]
G D
Many times I've wished that I would die, love
A7
Better to be dead than feel so low
D A7
All I ever lived or ever hoped for
D
Left me many many tears ago
[Intrumental Break]
G D A7 D A7 D
[Verse 5]
D A7
Many tears ago you called me darlin'
D
In my dreams I hear you say it now
A7
I can almost feel your arms around me
D D7
Arms that never meant to keep their vow
[Verse 6]
G D
Many tears ago 'twas in the springtime
A7
When you said goodbye and went away
D A7
Oh how well this aching heart remembers
D
Many many tears ago today
