 Subject: BEFORE THE NEXT TEARDROP FALLS
 BEFORE THE NEXT TEARDROP FALLS
 Recorded by Freddy Fender
 Words and music by Ben Peters and Vivian Keith
 If he [D] brings you happi-[D7] ness
 Then I [G] wish you both the [D] best
 It's your [G] happiness
 That [A7] matters most of [D] all [A7]
 But if he [D] ever breaks your [D7] heart
 If the [G] teardrops ever [D] start 
 [G] I'll be [D] there
 Before the [A7] next teardrop [D] falls [G] [D] 
 
 CHORUS
 [D7] I'll be [G] there
 Any-[A7] time you [D] need me by your side
 To [E7] dry away every [A7] teardrop that you cried
 If he [D] ever leaves you [D7] blue
 Just re-[G] member I love [D] you 
 [G] I'll be [D] there
 Before the [A7] next teardrop [D7] falls
 
 Tho' it hurts to let you go
 Darling, I want you to know
 That I'll stand by you
 If ever you should call
 And if I should ever hear
 That he made you shed a tear
 I'll be there
 Before the next teardrop falls
 
 CHORUS
 
 [G] Yes, I'll be [D] there
 Before the [A7] next teardrop [D] falls [G] [D] [A7] [D]
