Del Shannon cover
Am A
As I walk along
G
I wonder what went wrong
F E
With our love, a love that was so strong
A
And as I still walk on
G
I think of the things we've done
F E
Together, a-while our hearts were young
A
I'm a-walkin' in the rain
F#m
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
A
Wishin' you were here by me
F#m
To end this misery
A
And I wonder
F#m E
I wah-wah-wah-wah-wonder
A
Why
F#m D
Why, why, why, why, why she ran away
D
And I wonder
E
A-where she will stay-ay
A
My little runaway
D A E
Run, run, run, run, runaway
