Tabbed by: KM
It's my first chord/tab, so be nice to me if it isn't spot on! This cover of
the Beatles song is good if you have a soprano voice, it's just a bit higher
than the original.

[D]Of all the [A]love I have [Cadd9]won or have [D]lost
[D]There is one [A]love I should [Cadd9]never have [D]crossed.
[D]He was a [A]boy in a [Cadd9]million, my [D]friend
[D]I should have [A]known he would [Cadd9]win in the [D]end.
CHORUS:
I'm a [Em]lose[A]r
And I [Em]lost someone who's [A]near to me.
I'm a [D]los[Bm]er
And I'm [Em]not what I [C]appear to [A]be.
VERSE 2:
[D]Although I [A]laugh and I [Cadd9]act like a [D]clown,
[D]Beneath this [A]mask I am [Cadd9]wearing a [D]frown.
[D]My tears are [A]falling like [Cadd9]rain from the [D]sky,
[D]Is it for [A]him or my[Cadd9]self that I [D]cry?
CHORUS:
I'm a [Em]lose[A]r
And I [Em]lost someone who's [A]near to me.
I'm a [D]los[Bm]er
And I'm [Em]not what I [C]appear to [A]be.

VERSE 3:
[D]What have I [A]done to de[Cadd9]serve such a [D]fate?
[D]I rea[A]lize I have [Cadd9]left it too [D]late

[D]I'm telling [A]you so that [Cadd9]you won't lose [D]all.
