Words and music by Rick Roberts
INTRO -- Bb C Dm9 Bb
[Bb]Didn?t I hear you cry th[C]is morning, didn?t I fe[Dm9]el you weep[Bb]
[Bb]Teardrops flowin? down on m[C]e, like rivers in my[Dm9] sleep[Bb]
[Bb]And in my dream of laughter, yo[C]u came creepin? with you[Dm9]r fears[Bb]
[Bb]Telling me your sorrows[C], in the tracings of[Dm9] your tears[Bb]
[Dm]That?s a strange w[C]ay to tell me yo[Bb]u love me[C]
[Dm]When your sorrow is [C]all I can see[Bb][C]
[Dm]If you just want to [C]cry to somebod[Bb]y, [C] don?t cry to[Bb] me, no
[Bb]Don?t cry to me, [C] [Dm9] no[Bb]
[Bb]Didn?t I hear your [C]voice this morni[Dm9]ng, didn?t yo[Bb]u call my name
[Bb]I heard you wh[C]isper softly, but the [Dm9]words were never [Bb]plain
[Bb]And in your dream o[C]f darkness, I came [Dm9]shinin? like the [Bb]sun
[Bb]Waiting for the l[C]aughter, but the [Dm9]laughter nev[Bb]er comes
CHORUS
[Bb]Didn?t you feel a[C]lone this morn[Dm9]ing, didn?t you need [Bb]a friend
[Bb]And in your dark[C]est hour, you came[Dm9] runnin? back a[Bb]gain
CHORUS
FLUTE SOLO
REFRAIN CHORUS
(Note: Ordinarily, only the top four strings are played throughout the song. The
5th and 6th strings, A and E, are not played and left silent. And, in all chord
forms throughout the song, the D string is played, but not fretted, leaving the
open D string to pedal throughout the song. On the Bb for example, the first
finger is placed on the first fret of the high E string, the little finger on the
third fret of the B string, and the ring finger on the third fret of the G
string. The D is left open. For the C chord that follows, just move the entire
chord form up two frets, which should leave the index finger on the third fret.
The Dm9 is played like an Am, but the middle finger is lifted to leave an open G.)
