Opus 17

I can see there ain't no (Bm)room for me.

You're (C)only holding (D7)out your heart in (G)sympathy.

If there's (C)another man, (D7)then, girl,

I (G)understand.

Go on and (A7)take his hand,

and don't you (C)(D)worry (C)'bout (D7)me.

(G)I'll be blue and I'll be (Bm)cryin' too.

But, (C)girl, you know I (D7)only want what's (G)best for you.

What good is (C)all my pride,

(D7)if our true (G)love has died?

Go on and (A7)be his bride,

and don't you (C)(D)worry (C)'bout (D7)me.

(C)(D)worry (C)'bout (Eb7)me.

(Ab)I'll be strong;

I'll try to (Cm)carry on,

(Db)although you know it (Eb7)won't be easy (Ab)when you're gone.

I'll always (Db)think of you, (Eb7)the tender (Ab)love we knew.

But, somehow (Bb7)I'll get through,

so don't you (Db)(Eb)worry (Db)'bout (Eb7)me.

(Ab)Oo, baby.

(Baby, (Cm)oo.)

(Db)(Cryin', (Ab)cryin'.)

(Bb7)(Baby.) Don't you (Db)(Eb)worry (E7)'bout me.

(A)Sweetie pie, before you (C#m)say goodbye,

(D)remember, if he (E7)ever leaves you (A)high and dry,

don't cry (D)alone in (E7)pain.

Don't ever (A)feel ashamed if you want (B7)me again.

Just don't you (D)(E)worry (D)'bout (E7)me.

(A)I love you no matter (C#m)what you do.

I'll (D)spend my whole life (E7)waiting if you (A)want me to.

And if this (D)is (E7)goodbye, you know I'd (A)rather die than let you (B7)see me cry,

'cause then you'd (D)(E)worry (D)'bout (E7)me.

(A)I'll be strong;

I'll try to (C#m)carry on,

(D)although you know it (E7)won't be easy (A)when you're gone.

I'll always (D)think of (E7)you, the tender (A)love we knew.

But, somehow (B7)I'll get through,

so don't you (D)(E)worry (D)'bout (E7)me.

(A)I love you no matter (C#m)what you do.

I'll (D)spend my whole life (E7)waiting if you (A)want me to.
