INTRO
F C
In the morning when you rise
G7(no3) D7(no3)
Do you think of me and how you left me crying?
Are you thinking of telephones
And managers, and where you got to be at noon
You are living a reality I left years ago
It quite nearly killed me
In the long run, it will make you cry
Make you crazy and old before your time
And the difference betweem me and you
I won't argue right or wrong
But I have time to cry my baby
CHORUS:
D7(no3)
You don't have to cry, I said cry my baby
You don't have to cry, I said cry my baby
RIFF
You don't have to cry
REPEAT VERSE AND CHORUS
