Intro:  A7  -  Am7/F#  -  F  -  E  -  Am

A9                  Am     Dm7            G7            C      E7
Now you say you're lonely,   you cry the whole night through;

             A7             Am7/F#
Well you can cry me a river, cry me a river,

F         E7         Am    E7
I cried a river over you.


A9                   Am  Dm7           G7   C      E7
Now you say you're sorry     for being so untrue;

              A7             Am7/F#
Well you can cry me a river, cry me a river,

F         E7         Am
I cried a river over you.


Bridge: 

Am             E7             Dm          E7
You drove me, nearly drove me out of my head;

       Am        Dm7    E7
While you never shed a tear;

Am         E7         Dm            E7
Remember?  I remember all that you said --

  Am            Am+7
Told me love was too plebian,  

Am7                Am6       Bb9  E7
Told me you were through with me, and,


A9               Am       Dm7              G7          C     E7
Now you say you love me;     well, just to prove it's true,

        A7             Am7/F#   
You can cry me a river, cry me a river,

F          E7        Am
I cried a river over you.


Coda:

A7             Am7/F#
Cry me a river, cry me a river

F          E7         Am
I cried a river over you.
