Lyrics

As I walk a long I (Eb)won der what went wrong with (Db)our love, a love that was so (C7)strong.

And as I still walk on I (Eb)think of the things we’ve done to (Db)geth er while our hearts were (C7)young.

I’m a walk in’ in the rain.

Tears are fall in’ and I feel a pain, a wish in’ you were here by me

to end this mis er y.

And I (F)won der, wo wo wo wo (Dm)won der

(F)why,

why, why, why, why, (Dm)why she ran a way.

And I (F)won der

where she will (C7)stay,

my lit tle (F)run a way, (Bb)run run run run (F)run a way.

As I walk a long I (Eb)won der what went wrong with (Db)our love, a love that was so (C7)strong.

And as I still walk on I (Eb)think of the things we’ve done to (Db)geth er while our hearts were (C7)young.

I’m a walk in’ in the rain.

Tears are fall in’ and I feel a pain, a wish in’ you were here by me

to end this mis er y.

And I (F)won der, wo wo wo wo (Dm)won der

(F)why,

why, why, why, why, (Dm)why she ran a way.

And I (F)won der

where she will (C7)stay,

my lit tle (F)run a way, (Bb)run run run run (F)run a way.

(F)run a way.
