Tears On My Pillow
Written by Gene Autry and Fred Rose
Released in 1941
A wonderful song co-written and sang by the
GREAT silver Screen cowboy singer/movie star,
Gene Autry!
Capo almost any usual fret, or not, or transpose
to suit your own vocal range, it'll still sound good
when you play/sing it.
D E7
Tears on my pillow each morning
A7 D
I cry when I dream about you
G D Bm
When I should be sleeping I just lay there weeping
E7 A7
Wondering if you're weeping too
D E7
I'm trying so hard to forget you
A7 Bm F# D7
But that's not so easy to do
G D Bm
With tears on my pillow each morning
G A7 D
Tears that I've shed over you
D E7
We were so happy when love lingered on
A7 D
Back in the sweet used to be
E7
Now I'm so lonely because you are gone
A7
Leaving a sad memory
D E7
Tears on my pillow each morning
A7 D
I cry when I dream about you
G D Bm
When I should be sleeping I just lay there weeping
E7 A7
Wondering if you're weeping too
D E7
I'm trying so hard to forget you
A7 Bm F# D7
But that's not so easy to do
G D Bm
With tears on my pillow each morning
G A7 D
Tears that I've shed over you
