Lyrics

Chi qui ti ta, tell me what’s (G)wrong,

you’re en chained by your own sor row,

in

your (D)eyes there is (Am)no hope to mor row.

How I hate to see you like this,

there is no way (Bm)you can den y it,

(D)I

can (D)see that you’re, (Am)oh so (G)sad, so qui et.

Chi qui ti ta, you and I (C)know

how the heart aches come and they go and the (G)scars they’re leav in’.

You’ll be danc ing once a gain

and the (C)pain will (D)end, you will (Am)have no (G)time for griev in’.

Chi qui ti ta, you and I (C)cry

but the sun is still in the sky and (G)shin in’ a bove you,

let me hear you sing once (D)more like you (C)did be (D)fore, sing a (Am)new song, (G)Chi qui ti ta,

try once (D)more like you (C)did be (D)fore, sing a (Am)new song, (G)Chi qui ti ta.
