Intro.: |(D7) / / / |(D7) / (A7) / |

(D7) The sky is crying, (G7) look at the tears roll (D7)down the street
I said, the (G7)sky is crying, look at the tears roll (D7)down the street
I'm (A7)waiting for you, baby, I've been looking (G7)for my baby
And I wonder, wonder, wonder where (D7)can he be

(D7) I saw my baby one morning, (G7) he was walking down (D7) the street
Saw my (G7)baby, saw my baby one morning
He was walking on down, on down the (D7)street
Make me (A7)feel so good (G7) 'til my poor heart would skip a beat
|(D7)(D7/C)(G7/B)(C7/Bb)|(A7)(A7/G) Now listen (A7)

I've got a (D7)bad, bad feelin'

(G7) My baby, may baby don't want me (D7)no more
I've got (G7)bad, bad, bad feeling
My baby don't, don't want me (D7)no more
Now the (A7)sky's been crying
(G7) The tears' rolling out my (D7)nose

Solo: |(D7) |(G7) |(D7) |(D7) |

|(G7) |(G7) |(D7) |(D7) |
|(A7) |(G7) |(D7) |(D7) Now listen (A7)

I've got a (D7)bad, bad feeling

(G7) My baby don't, may baby don't want me (D7)no more
I've got (G7)bad, bad, bad feeling
My baby don't, my baby don't want me (D7)no more
Now the (A7)sky's been crying
(G7) And the tears' --- rolling out my nose (D7/C)(G7/B)(C7/Bb)(A7)

(Eb9)Oh yeah (D9) -----
