Eand I F#saw a F#7tear drop on the Brose.
BWhile strollin? through a lovely F#garden
as day was F#7drawin? to a Bclose.
My eyes B7beheld a tragic Estory
I F#saw a F#7tear drop on the Brose.
It Bshould have been a tear of gF#ladness
But deep iF#7nside the sorrow sBhowed.
A trustin? B7heart had just been Ebroken
I F#saw a F#7tear drop on the Brose.
A Bsobbing tear that follows pF#arting,
holds all the F#7pain that sorrow Bknows.
A false gB7oodbye...a life is shEattered.
There F#lies the F#7story on the Brose
The Btear will dry...the rose will wF#ither.
When spring and F#7winter comes and Bgoes
I loved..I lB7ost..my story Eended.
With F#just a F#7tear drop on the Brose.
