Cry Me A River:Julie London
 9 on the Pop charts in 1955.
One of the best singers AND song,
ever,in my humble opinion.
 
(Slow blues)
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
A7                 Am7
Now you say you're lonely,
Dm7         G7          C
You cry the whole night through,
E     E7      A7              Am7
Well, you can cry me a river, cry me a river,
Dm7       E7         Am  E E7
I cried a river over you.
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
A7                 Am7
Now you say you're sorry,
Dm7       G7     C
For bein' so un..true,
E     E7      A7              Am7
Well, you can cry me a river, cry me a river,
Dm7       E7         Am
I cried a river over you.
 
 
[CHORUS]
 
Am7           E7               Dm7       E7
You drove me, nearly drove me, out of my head,
E     Am        Dm7    E7
while you never shed a tear.
Am7        E   E7     Dm7          E7
Remember...I remember all that you said...
Am7                  Am
told me love was too plebeian,
Am7              Am           Bb7  E7
told me you were through with me...and...
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
A7              Am7
Now you say you love me,
Dm7           G7        C
Well, just to prove you do,
E    E7     A7              Am7
Come on and cry me a river, cry me a river,
Dm7       E7         Am  Dm7 E7..Bb7 E7 Am
I cried a river over you.
 
 
[CHORUS]
 
Am7           E7               Dm7       E7
You drove me, nearly drove me, out of my head,
E     Am        Dm7    E7
while you never shed a tear.
Am7        E   E7     Dm7          E7
Remember...I remember all that you said...
Am7                  Am
told me love was too plebeian,
Am7              Am           Bb7  E7
told me you were through with me...and...
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
A7              Am7
Now you say you love me,
Dm7           G7        C
Well, just to prove you do,
E    E7     A7              Am7
Come on and cry me a river, cry me a river,
Dm7       E7         Am  Dm7 E7..Bb7 E7 Am

Found the sheet music for this, finally, and my tab is pretty accurate. It's in the Key A and I admit it's a difficult piece to get the right timing on. A friend, who's a guitar ACE, played it through and said it sounded fine to him, except for the odd chord not quite in the right place. I will place them where he suggested but he also said it doesn't really ruin the tab for anyone who can play guitar. But this dim-witted ****hole, (aron360) gave it a 1 star rating. This tells me he/she/it knows nothing about music. NOTHING! So, (aron360) thanks for nothing. GFY. KK.

I think it sounds better/easier to sing to with the capo on 4th...but I might be wrong
