If he brings you hap-pi-ness,
-5 -5* -6 -3* -3* -5 5
Then I wish you both the best,
-5 6 -6 -6 -5
It’s your hap-pi-ness,
-5 7 -7 6 5 5 -7
that mat-ters most of all,
-7 -7 -7* 8 -9 8 -7 -6
But if he ev-er breaks your heart,
-5 -5* -6 -3* -3* -5 5
If the tear-drops ev-er start,
-7* -7* -7 7 -7
I’ll be there be-fore
-7* -7 6 7 -6
the next tear-drop falls

-7 -7* 8 -9 8 -7 -6
Tho’ it hurts to let you go
-5 -5* -6 -3* -3* -5 5
Dar-ling I want you to know
-5 6 -6 -6 -5
That I’ll stand by you
-5 7 -7 6 5 5 -7
If ev-er you should call
-7 -7* 8 -9 8 -7 -6
And if ev-er leaves you blue
-5 -5* -6 -3*-3* -5 5
Just re-mem-ber I love you

-7* -7* -7 7 -7
I’ll be there be-fore
-7* -7 6 7 -6
the next tear-drop falls
