[E] [F#] [G#] I [A] sat in with a [D]
fan [A] down in Dallas
[E] I'd been [D]
introduced as a [A] guest
When a little [D] white-haired man approached [A] the bandstand
Said, [D] I wonder if [E] you'd lay one [A] last request
Oh, please play me [D] a song I [A] can cry to
[E] Sad [D] songs of music fill [A] my ears
Play me [D] a song I [A] can cry to
[D] Play me [E] a song that sounds [A] like tears
I stood by [D] as the band [A] started playing
[E] And I didn't [D] even try to [A] play along
For my eyes had [D] followed him back [A] to the corner
Where [B] he sat down at a table [E] all along
Then [A] a smile [D] slowly came upon [A] his teardrops
[F#m] And [E] I watched [D] as he slowly [A] bowed his head
Just before he left [D] this world for one [A] much better
I [D] remembered the [E] little lonely man [A] had said
Oh, please play [D] me a song I can [A] cry to
[E] Sad [D] songs of music fill [A] my ears
Play me [D] a song I [A] can cry to
[D] Play me [E] a song that sounds [A] like tears
[D] Play [E] me a song that sounds [A] like tears
