Intro: F Bb 


#1. 
Bb                                Eb 
I cry myself to sleep each night, wishing I could  

hold you tight. 
     Bb                            F 
Life seems so empty since you went away. 
    Bb                                 Eb 
The pillow where you lay your head now holds my lonely  

tears instead. 
       F                                     Bb 
And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you've gone. 

F Eb It keeps right on a-hurtin, every minute of the day. F Eb Bb Every hour you're away, I feel so lone-ly. Bb Eb Oh, I can't help it, I don't think I can go on. F Bb Yes, it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you've gone.
INTERLUDE: Bb Eb F Bb Eb Bb Cm #2. Bb Eb They say a man should never cry, but when I see you Bb passing by, my heart breaks down and cries a million F tears. Bb Eb You broke my heart and set me free, but you forgot your memory. F Bb And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you've gone.
