  			C                              G7 
When you said you were leaving tomorrow 
  
                        C 
That today was our last day 

                     F 
I said there'd be no sorrow 
  
         C         G7          C 
That I'd laugh when you walked away 

  
                               G7 
But a little bitty tear let me down 
  
                    C 
Spoiled my act as a clown 

                        F 
I had it made up not to make a frown 
  
      C            G7          C 
But a little bitty tear let me down 

  
                            G7 
I said I'd laugh when you left me 
  
                                  C 
Pull of funny as you went out the door 

                            F 
That I'd have another one a waiting  

   C       G7          C 
To wave goodbye as you go 

  
                               G7 
But a little bitty tear let me down 
  
                    C 
Spoiled my act as a clown 

                        F 
I had it made up not to make a frown  

      C            G7          C 
But a little bitty tear let me down  
          
  
                                  G7 
Everything went out like I planned it  

                        C 
I really put on quite a show 

                           F 
I thought that I was gonna stand it 
  
     C          G7              C 
But when you've got through the door 

  
                               G7 
Then a little bitty tear let me down  

                    C 
Spoiled my act as a clown 

                        F 
I had it made up not to make a frown  

      C            G7          C 
But a little bitty tear let me down
