    D - G - D    - A - G - D - A

 

     D

1. Ain't no big sensation committed no crime,

 

    only recollections of forgotten old affections,

               G                D

    lost in time, only crying.

 

              A                          G                             D

    Sometimes I wish on a night like this, only crying.

                                                                     

    Well, the moonlight kind of threw me, only crying,

                                                                   G

    and the red wine's getting to me, only crying.

 

    It's my broke heart that is healing, can't a man show his feelings,

                                                            D

    am I meant to be a clown in pantomime ?

                A

    Just a raindrop in the ocean,

              G                                        D            A

    just a simple sad emotion, only crying, oh ho.

 

    D

2. I don't understand it, what's all the fuss ?

 

    No, I never planned it, should we leave now empty handed' ?

                        G                 D

    Guess we must dust to dust.

 

               A                                 G                             D

    It's a crying shame, I'll never be the same, only crying.

                                                                    

    Well, the moonlight kind of threw me, only crying,

                                                                   G

    and the red wine's getting to me, only crying.

 

    As the wind blows soft and gentle, call me foolish, sentimental,

                                                                D

    I'm a man, I'm not a stone without a heart.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                   A

    Well, I know I ain't supposed to,

                  G                                                        D           A

    it's the man who loves you most who's only crying, oh ho.

 

+ E - A - E   - B7 - A            E

                                 Only crying.

 

               E

+  Na na na na, na na na na, only crying

                                                         A

    Na na na na, na na na na, only crying

                                                         E 

    Na na na na, na na na na, only crying, only crying.

    B7   A      - E ~ .........

    Oh, oh.
