Standard (EADGBE)

I'm not surprised to find you here in this old dim lit world

 I'll bet you've held a thousand poor broken-hearted girls

 You sound so sad you must have had your share of misery

 But you're just a crying steel guitar so cry again for me

Chorus

Cause while you're crying his mem'ry's dying

 There's a special kind of sigh in the lonely way you cry

You express my feelings and my tears no one will see

 So let you cold blue lonely strings cry once again for me

 (up ½ measure to )

I'll be here at this table again tomorrow night

Each time that I'm close to you I know I'll be all right

I loved him more than anything but it's over I can see

If you don't mind please steel guitar cry much again for me

Chorus
