Let the heartaches begin (1967) 

 

  G                                      C

1.  I can hear the guitars start to play,

                         D                            D7      D          G

    and they will to me say, I was a fool to turn my love away.

                                                    C

    And with each glas of wine, I feel it glow,

                          D                                D7      D         G

   and here we see our souls, I was a fool to let my baby go.

 

 D   C  D     G                  G7             C                  Cm

So let the heartaches begin, I can’t help it, I can’t win,

                     G                   A                    Am      - D7

I’ve lost that girl for sure, it is no self anymore.

                     G                  G7              C                  Cm

Yes, let the heartaches begin, I can’t help it, I can’t win

                     G        Em     G             Em

I’ve lost that girl for sure, now she’s gone,

  Am                           D         - - -  G          - C  – D - G

I can’t hold back the tears  - anymore.

 

   G                                                      C

2.   I can see the couples dancing through the night,

                              D

    they hold each other tight,

                  D7             D                 G

    as they dance and love till the morning light.

                                                   C

    The soft embraces that they seem to share

                     D                         D7             D         G

    make me feel aware of the loneliness I try so hard to bear.

                      

+ CHORUS  - D – D - G
