Chords/Tabulature for
Don't Cry No Tears

Submitted by: Charlie Coombs (GUNGBG@AOL.COM)

Notes about this song:

  • While there was little controversy about the chord structure, there was some discussion about the intro.
  • Charlie suggested version 1 of the intro...
  • Nigel Minchin (N.R.Minchin@qmw.ac.uk) suggested version 2...
  • Wolfgang suggested version 3...
  • Note from Wolfgang:It's hard to separate the 2 guitars of the recording, but personally I think my suggestion is a good approximation if you play it with just 1 guitar. Anyway, you've got the choice now.

Well I wonder who's with her tonight?

And I wonder who's holding her tight?

But there's nothing I can say 
   A            F#m
To make him go away 
    D               E           A    F#m
Old true love ain't too hard to see

Don't cry no tears around me.
