        A     D            A
Don’t cry no tears around me.
        D                  A
Don’t cry no tears around me.
         F#m              G         A              F#m
Cuz when all the water’s gone, the feeling lingers on.
      D              E           A  F#m
Old true love ain’t too hard to see.
        D     E            A
Don’t cry no tears around me.

Well I wonder who's with her tonight?
And I wonder who's holding her tight?
But there's nothing I can say
To make him go away
Oh true love ain't too hard to see
Don't cry no tears around me

            F#m            G      A            F#m
But there’s nothing I can say to make him go away.
      D              E           A F#m
Old true love ain’t too hard to see.
        D     E            A F#m
Don’t cry no tears around me.
        D     E            A
Don’t cry no tears around me.
