Capo 4


Chorus:
G                         C                Am
Who ever said the hand is quicker than the eye
    F                           G     D
Has never tried to brush away a tear
G                               C                 Am 
Quicker than a wink there’ll be something in your eye
    D                            G   
And You can’t beat a tear if you try

     A                           D
Well tears of joy have graced us all
    A                         D     A
And tears of sorrow sometimes fall
    D                     G               Gm
And some tears betray you just before you know
    A                     D
And some tears don’t ever show


Chorus


Some tears are harder than stone
Some tears are better left alone
I’ve seen them kept in bottles
I’ve seen ‘em left to dry
You can’t beat a tear if you try
