I Keep Writin' 'em....

Music Makes Me Cry

Em
There’s a young girl singing on a summer
G
swing
Dm Em
Music makes me cry…
Em
There’s an old man banging on some
G
strange thing
Dm Em
Music makes me cry…
Em
There’s an old voice trying out a brand
G
new song
Dm Em
Music makes me cry…
Em
There’s a new voice singing ‘bout an old
G
folk’s home
Dm Em
Music makes me cry…

Em G
Someone’s singing ‘bout a dying man,
Em G
someone’s singin’ ‘bout a baby born
Em G
Someone’ singing ‘bout a laughing clam
Em G
Someone’s singing ‘bout the foggy morn’
Em G
Someone’s singin’ ‘bout poverty
Em G
Someone’s singing ‘bout riches and fame
Em G
Someone’s singing ‘bout the mystery

Dm Em
And why music makes me cry…
Dm Em
Why music makes me cry…
Dm Em
Why music makes me cry…

Em
There’s a small boy humming to his
G
momma’s breath
Dm Em
Music makes me cry…
Em
There’s a beggar singing for a loaf of
G
bread
Dm Em
Music makes me cry…
Em
There’s a pack of dogs singing to a sunlit
G
Moon

Dm Em
Music makes me cry…
Em
There’s a stadium of fans singing out of
G
tune
Dm Em
Music makes me cry…

Em G
I like football… I like mud
Em G
I like SWEAT And I like BLOOD
Em G
I like THE CURVE OF A WOMAN
Em G
Who can’t walk a straight line
Em G
I like beer, BURGERS and pizza
Em G
and a mighty fine wine

Em G
But there’s JUST one thing
Em G
I find it hard to admit
Em G
There’s just one thing
Em G
And I don’t know why…

Dm Em
Music makes me cry…
Dm Em
Music makes me cry…
Dm Em
Music makes me cry…

makes me cry…
makes me cry…
makes me cry…

Funny that about music - I always wondered if other animals hear it the way we do
