CRYING - Don McLean
 
[Intro]
C - Em - C - G7
 
          C
I was all right, for a while,
        C
I could smile for a while
           C
But when I saw you last night,
            C+
you held my hand so tight
         F                 Fm
when you stopped to say hello
               C
And though you wished me well,
    G7
you couldn't tell
 
            C     Em
That I'd been crying over you,
C      Em
 crying over you
        F        G7
When you said "So long",
       F              G7
left me standing all a- lone
         C     C+     F      Fm
Alone and crying, crying, crying, crying
    C
It's hard to understand,
         G7
that the touch of your hand
             C
Can start me crying
 
               C
I thought that I was over you,
         C
but it's true, so true
           C
I love you even more,
      C+
than I did before
    F                   Fm
But darling, what can I do,
        C
for you don't love me
        G7
And I'll always be,
 
C      Em
 crying over you,
C      Em
 crying over you
    F         G7
Yes, now you're gone
             F     G7
and from this moment on
       C     C+     F      Fm
I'll be crying, crying, crying, crying
    C
It's hard to understand,
          G7
That the touch of your hand
            C     C
Can start me crying, crying

i listen to the song once more and you're right about the capo and the ending i posted an update a couple of days ago, but none of my corrections have been implemented yet. i hope you like this one

i'll have a look somewhere in the next days. thanks for the comment.

No there is no capo; the song is in C. The end part is wrong though, he just says crying over and over, these chords are right but at the very end where he hit "you" in falsetto the chords are C, Bb, G#, G7, C. (with the cool string section, sweeps down low)
