How The Story Ends
View chords used in this chart
Show your request for this song. This is my first attempt at this. I took
the song off of a Freddy Fender album "Before the Next Teardrop Falls". The
big hit was made by Bobby Bare in 1971. The song was written by Kris
Kristofferson.
PLEASE DON'T TELL ME HOW THE STORY ENDS
