I Acry myself to sleep each A7night..
Dwishing I could hold you tight..

The Apillow where you lay your A7head..
now Dholds my lonely tears instead..
and it Ekeeps right on a-hurtin' since you're AgoneD.A  E  
CHORUS:
It Ekeeps right on a-hurtin', every Dminute of the day.
Every Ehour you're away I feel so Dlone..lonAely.
And I can't help it, I don't A7think I can go Don..
and it Ekeeps right on a-hurtin' since you're AgoneD.A  E

They Asay a man should never A7cry..
but Dwhen I see you passin' by..
my Aheart breaks down and cries a million Etears.
Now, Ayou broke my heart and set me A7free..
but Dyou forgot your memory..
and it Ekeeps right on a-hurtin' since you're AgoneD.A  E  
OUTRO:
It Ekeeps right on a-hurtin', every Dminute of the day.
Every Ehour you're away I feel so Dlone..lonAely.
And I can't help it, I don't A7think I can go Don..
and it Ekeeps right on a-hurtin' since you're AgoneD.A  E  A  
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
