Cry

Words & Music by Churchill Kohlman
Recorded by Johnny Ray, 1952 (#1)



(G7)     Csus4      C      Csus4   C       E7   Bm7-5    E7
If your sweetheart sends a letter of good-bye,

        Am      Am+7        Am7    A7/9   Em6   A7   A7/9   Em6
It's no secret, you'll feel better if you cry.

       Dm7         G7
When waking from a bad dream, 

           C        C/B         A7
Don't you sometimes think it's real?

          D7          Dm7              G7
But it's only false emotions that you feel.

        Csus4       C     Csus4   C         E7    Bm7-5   Fdim   E7
If your heartaches seem to hang around too long,

          Am        Am+7     Am7             A9
And your blues keep getting bluer with each song,

   Dm7             Fm
Remember, sunshine can be found

C        C/B     A9
Behind a cloudy sky,

              D9          G   G7       C    Cdim   Dm7   G7
So let your hair down and go ahead and cry.
