Hank Williams


Tom: B

INTRO: PLAY INSTRUMENTALL OVER THE FOLLOWING  LINE. 
 
E     F#    F#7              B 
and I saw a tear drop on the rose. 
 
 
VERSE ONE 
B                                F#      
While strollin' through a lovely garden 
           F#7          B 
as day was drawin' to a close. 
        B7              E 
My eyes beheld a tragic story 
  F#    F#7              B 
I saw a tear drop on the rose. 
 
 
VERSE TWO 
 
   B                           F# 
It should have been a tear of gladness 
          F#7               B 
But deep inside the sorrow showed. 
           B7                  E 
A trustin' heart had just been broken 
  F#    F#7              B 
I saw a tear drop on the rose. 
 
 
VERSE THREE 
 
  B                          F# 
A sobbing tear that follows parting, 
              F#7              B 
holds all the pain that sorrow knows. 
         B7                   E 
A false goodbye...a life is shattered. 
      F#       F#7          B 
There lies the story on the rose 
 
 
VERSE FOUR 
 
    B                              F# 
The tear will dry...the rose will wither. 
                F#7              B 
When spring and winter comes and goes 
            B7            E 
I loved..I lost..my story ended. 
     F#     F#7              B 
With just a tear drop on the rose.
