        G                       G7      
If he brings you happiness,     
            C                       G       
Then I wish you both the best.     
               C      
It's your happiness     
         D7                   G   D7     
That matters most of all.     
              G                     G7      
But if he ever breaks your heart,     
           C                  G      
If the teardrops ever start     
C       G      
I'll be there     
                D7                 G     C G      
Before the next teardrop falls.      


         G             G7             C         G  
Si te quiere de verdad  y te da felicidad,   
          C             D7                   C        D7  
Te deseo lo mas bueno par’ los dos,                             
        G                G7           C                  G 
Pero si te hace llorar,  a mi me puedes hablar,   
 C      G               D7               G      C     G 
Y estare contigo cuando trist’ estàs.                           

 
                C              D           G                     G7  
     I'll be there  any time you need me by your side, 
          A7                         D                        D7 
     To dry away /every  teardrop that you've cried. 
                    G                     G7            C                     G  
     And if he ever leaves you blue, just remember I love you, 
            C       G                     D      D7        G       C   G 
     And I’ll be there before the next teardrop falls. 
 

(Instrumental break:  verse melody) 

           G                   G7             C                    G  
Tho' it hurts to let you go, Darling, I want you to know 
              C                    D7                   G       D7 
That I'll stand by you if ever you should call, 
          G                  G7               C                       G  
And if I should ever hear that he made you shed a tear, 
  C      G                     D     D7          G       C   G7 
I'll be there before the next teardrop falls.  

(Chorus) 

Tag:    
 C        G                     D     D7        G    C   G 
 I'll be there before the next teardrop falls.
