 Subject: Little Bitty Tear by Burl Ives
 A Little Bitty Tear
 By: Burl Ives
 From the album: Little Bitty Tear (1960)
 Words and music by Hank Cochran
 Transcribed by John Patterson
 
 A pretty simple tune and easy for beginners like me to play.
 
 Chords: F C7 Bb (I usually put the capo on the 3rd fret and play D A7 G)
 
 When you [F] said you were leaving to [C7] morrow
 That today was our last [F] day
 I said there'd be no [Bb] sorrow
 That I'd [F] laugh when [C7] you walked [F] away.
 But
 
 Chorus:
 A [F] little bitty tear let me [C7] down
 Spoiled my act as a [F] clown
 I had it made up not to make a [Bb] frown
 Oh, but a [F] little bitty [C7] tear let me [F] down.
 
 I said I'd laugh when you left me
 Pull a funny as you went out he door
 That I'd have another one waiting
 To wave goodbye as you go
 But
 
 (Chorus)
 
 Every thing went as I planned it
 And I really put on quite a show
 And I thought I was gonna stand it
 But when you got to the door
 Then
 
 (Chorus)
