Lyrics

You made

me cry

when you said

good bye.

Ain’t that a (C7)shame!

My tears fell like (G)rain.

Ain’t that a (C7)shame!

You’re the one to (D)blame.

You broke

my heart

when you said

we’ll part.

Ain’t that a (C7)shame!

My tears fell like (G)rain.

Ain’t that a (C7)shame!

You’re the one to (D)blame.

Oh (G)well,

good bye,

al though

I’ll cry.

Ain’t that a (C7)shame!

My tears fell like (G)rain.

Ain’t that a (C7)shame!

You’re the one to (G)blame.
