Lyrics

Don’t let the (Fmaj7)sun

catch you (Cmaj7)cry ing

the night’s the (Fmaj7)time

for all your (G)tears.

Your heart may be (E7)bro ken to night,

but to mor row in the (E7)morn ing light

don’t let the (G7)sun

catch you (Cmaj7)cry ing.

The night time (Fmaj7)shad ows

dis ap (Cmaj7)pe ar

and with them (Fmaj7)go

all your (G)tears.

(G7)er.

But For the (Am)morn ing will bring (E7)joy

and for (Am)ev ’ry girl and (E7)boy.

(Em)So

don’t let the (G7)sun

catch you (Cmaj7)cry ing.

We know that cry ing’s

not a (Am)bad

thing

but stop your cry ing

when the (G7)birds

sing.

Don’t let the (Cmaj7)sun catch you cry ing oh (Fmaj7)no,

oh oh (Cmaj7)oh.
