I heard a heart break last night    (midi)

 

      - - - - - - -   A

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.

 

      - - - - - - - -   A

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.

                D                                 A             D

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

                A          E                       A       - A7

    and I heard a heart break last night.

                D                                 A              D

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

                A           E                     A        D    A

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