  			(intro)  Am G 

Am                 G 
As I walk along I wonder 
                       F 
What went wrong with our love 
                    E 
Love that was so strong 
Am 
And as I still walk by 
   G                            F 
I think off the times we had together 
                        E 
While our hearts were young 

A 
I’m a-walking in the rain 
F#m 
Hear it falling, and I feel the pain 
A 
Wishing you were here by me 
F#m 
To end this misery 

       A                     F#m 
And I wonder (why why why I wonder) 
A                   F#m 
Why (why why why I wonder) 
                      D 
You went away Yes, I wonder 
                 E 
where you will stay 
           A 
My little runaway, 
D 
Run, run, run, run, runaway 

(solo 2x) Am G F E
