  			Half Heaf Heartache:Ral Donner. 
Released in 1961. Gene Pitney had a hit with this 
in the same year. But Donner's lyrics and arrangement 
are somewhat different than Pitney's.  
Here is the Ral Donner version. 

#1. (Capo up 1st fret for original.) 

C                                     C  
My arms reach out for you, I hold you tenderly, 
              Am             F          G 
But when  you touch my lips, you kiss a memory,  

why must it be? 
C            C               F         Fm 
Half heaven, half heartache, my lovin' you, darlin'... 
C                           G7 
Can't you forget that other love, you knew? 

#2. 
C                                  C  
Within your angel eyes, a world of dreams I see, 
           Am         F              G7 
Yet I keep wondering, if they're for him or me,  
G 
Will it always be? 
C            C               F         Fm 
Half heaven, half heartache, my loving you, darlin'... 
    C               Am        F      G7  C             C  
Or, will my love be strong e..nough..to, take away the heartache, 
    C              Am        F          C 
And make my life a heaven on earth with you? 


C            C               F         Fm 
Half heaven, half heartache, my loving you, darlin'... 
    C               Am        F      G7  C             C  
Oh, will my love be strong e..nough..to, take away the heartache, 
    C              Am        F          C 
And make my life a heaven on earth with you?
