A Little Bitty Tear

	  		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)
