I heard a heart break last night

1. I heard the pitter patter of a slow winter
rain,
E
I heard the lonesome whistle
of a far away train.
D A D
As I sat in the silence, broken
only by a pain,
A E A
I heard a heart break last
night.
E A
Oh, how you cried when we said
goodbye,
E A
as we stood
at the station in the rain.
E A
And a
whip-poor-will
sang from a pine tree close by,
B7 E
when we
heard the whistle of your train.

2. I heard the moans of sobbing of the wind in the pine,
E
I felt the cold icy finger of
fear on the spine.

For I knew in my heart you'd
never be mine,

and I heard a heart break last
night.

For I knew in my heart you'd
never be mine,

and I heard a heart break last
night (last night).
