A little bitty tear let me down, spoiled my act as a clown,
         D7                    G            D            A7           D
I had it made up not to make a frown, but a little bitty tear let me down.

    D7                      A7              A      A7       D
You said you were leaving tomorrow, that today was our last day,
             D7          G                D          A7         D
I said there would be no sorrow, that I'd laugh when you walked away.

                   D7          A7    A          A7       D
But a little bitty tear let me down, spoiled my act as a clown,
         D7                    G            D            A7          D         D7  G   D  A7  D
I had it made up not to make a frown, but a little bitty tear let me down.

           D7             A7              A            A7           D
I said I'd laugh when you left me, pull a funny as you went out the door,
     D7                   G                D        A7         D
That I'd have another one waitin', and I'd wave goodbye as you go.

                   D7          A7    A          A7       D
But a little bitty tear let me down, spoiled my act as a clown,
         D7                    G            D            A7          D         D7  G   D  A7  D 
I had it made up not to make a frown, but a little bitty tear let me down.        

           D7          A7                A          A7         D
Everything went like I planned it, and I really put on quite a show,
      D7                   G                  D                A7               D
In my heart I felt I could stand it, til’ you walked with your grip through the door.

                     D7          A7    A          A7       D
Then, a little bitty tear let me down, spoiled my act as a clown,
         D7                    G            D            A7          D
I had it made up not to make a frown, but a little bitty tear let me down; oh……

  D7           A7          D
A little bitty tear let me down.     (x2 and Fade)
