  G             C                   F
Your cheatin' heart will make you weep;

        G                         C
You'll cry and cry and try to sleep,

   C                                   F
But sleep won't come the whole night through --

                G                 C
Your cheatin' heart will tell on you.

                  F                 C
When tears come down like fallin' rain,

               D7               G7
You'll toss around and call my name.

                  C              F
You'll walk the floor the way I do --

                G                 C
Your cheatin' heart will tell on you.


Your cheatin' heart will pine some day;
You'll crave the love you threw away;
The time will come when you'll be blue --
Your cheatin' heart will tell on you.


When tears come down like fallin' rain,
You'll toss around and call my name.
You'll walk the floor the way I do --
Your cheatin' heart will tell on you.

  C              G                 C   F   C
 Your cheatin' heart will tell on you.
