Pick low note of chord followed by the rest (ala Johnny Cash)
Played 2/4 time
[Verse]
E
Tell me it’s not true
A
Tell me it’s a lie
E
Tell me that you’re stayin’
B7
And not sayin’ goodbye
E
Tell me it’s not true
A
You won’t break my heart
E
Tell me you’ll be with me
B7
Or else I’ll fall apart
E
Tell me it’s not true
A
Tell me that you’ll stay
E
Tell me that my life
B7
Won’t end on this very day
E
Tell me it’s not true
A
Oh ! It cannot be
E
If you go away
B7
There’ll be nothing left for me
[Chorus]
A E
There won’t be a sunrise
A E
The birds will call your name
A E7
Your flowers will weep all day
B7
Nothing will be the same
[Verse]
E
Tell me it’s not true
A
It’s just a big mistake
E
You’ll still be here tomorrow
B7
When I awake
E
Cause if it’s true my darling
A
I’ll never smile again
E
I’ll be all in pieces
B7
Impossible to mend
[Chorus 2]
A E
There won’t be a sunrise
A E
The birds will call your name
A E7
Your flowers will weep all day
B7
Nothing will be the same
