Half Heaf Heartache:Ral Donner.
Released in 1961. Gene Pitney had a hit with this
in the same year. But Donner's lyrics are somewhat
different than Pitney's. Here is the Ral Donner version.
[Verse 1] (Capo up 1st fret for original.)
                                     C  C+
My arms reach out for you, I hold you tenderly,
But when  you Amtouch my lips, Fyou kiss a Gmemory, 
why must it be?
            C  C+                       F  Fm  
Half heaven, half heartache, my lovin' you, darlin'...
CCan't you forget that other G7love, you knew?
[Verse 2]
                                  C  C+
Within your angel eyes, a world of dreams I see,
Yet I keep Amwondering, Fif they're for G7him or me, 
GWill it always be?
            C  C+                       F  Fm  
Half heaven, half heartache, my loving you, darlin'...
                   C          Am        F    G7               C  C+
Or, will my love be strong e..nough..to, take away the heartache,
And Cmake my life a Amheaven on Fearth with Cyou?
            C  C+                       F  Fm  
Half heaven, half heartache, my loving you, darlin'...
                   C          Am        F    G7               C  C+
Oh, will my love be strong e..nough..to, take away the heartache,
And Cmake my life a Amheaven on Fearth with Cyou?
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
