A little bitty tear let me down,

spoiled my act as a clown.
                               F 
I had it made up not to make a frown,
          C            G7          C 
oh, but a little bitty tear let me down.


C                                G7 
When you said you were leaving tomorrow,
                        C 
that today was our last day,
                     F 
I said there'd be no sorrow,
          C          G7          C 
that I'd  laugh when you walked away.

CHORUS:
C                              G7 
But a little bitty tear let me down,
                    C 
spoiled my act as a clown.
                               F 
I had it made up not to make a frown,
          C            G7          C 
oh, but a little bitty tear let me down.

Everything went like I planned it,
                            C 
and I really put on quite a show.
                           F 
In my heart I felt I could stand it,
        C                G7               C 
Til you walked with your grip through the door.

Then, a little bitty tear let me down,
                    C 
spoiled my act as a clown.
                               F 
I had it made up not to make a frown,
          C            G7          C 
oh, but a little bitty tear let me down.
