Save Your Tears

Willie Nelson


Tom: A

A                               D
I'm so glad that you came by to see me
A                                E
But I'm afraid that I'm not much to see
A                                            D
But if those tears in your eyes are tears of pity
A                        E             A
Then it's best you don't shed them for me



CHORUS
          E                           A
Save your tears for the ones who are livin'
         E                                                         
It's too late for someone who has died
         D                      A
And this world of mine long ago ended
E             D        A
It ended when you said goodbye


A                              D
You tell me the children still miss me
A                E
And ask about me everyday
A                              D
I'd give all the world just to see them
A                        E           A
But it's best they don't see me this way



CHORUS
          E                           A
Save your tears for the ones who are livin'
         E                                                         
It's too late for someone who has died
         D                      A
And this world of mine long ago ended
E             D        A
It ended when you said goodbye
