I Can't Cry Him Away Recorded by Jean Shepard Written by Neal Merritt
GC Every jukebox that I see holds a memory for me D7G And I cry along with every tune I play C My radio is always on I know the words to every song D7G But I still can't seem to cry him away
C I keep asking myself why can't I just lay down and die D7G I don't really think there's any other way C I go to my lonely room and I cry there in the gloom D7G But I still can't seem to cry him away
CD7G I can't cry him away I see him everywhere A7D7 Though the pillow here beside me's empty his memory is there
GC I sometimes wake up with the dawn and my radio is on D7G And I didn't even hear the tunes they played C So I turn it way up high so no one can hear me cry D7G For I know I'll never cry him away
CD7G I can't cry him away I see him everywhere A7D7 Though the pillow here beside me's empty his memory is there C I go to my lonely room and I cry there in the gloom D7G But I still can't seem to cry him away
