G                               C        G 
She'll always get you when your guard is down 

C                    D7       G 
Pick you up and then drag you round 

                    C         G 
And everybody knows you'll be found 

C           D7       G 
Following a trail of tears 


                        C         G 
She keeps her heart all locked in chains 

C                   D7      G 
Never have a chance to love again 

                     C        G 
But you won't be the first my friend 

       C           D7       G 
You're following a trail of tears 


  C                  F      C 
A trail of teardrops always fall 

      G                     D7      G 
Cause girls like that don't care at all 

C                 F       C 
She just wants to see you crawl 

G                    D7       G 
Crawling through the trail of tears 


                         C        G 
You'll tell her that you need her so 

    C                     D7          G 
But she'll just laugh and then you'll know 

                           C       G 
That you've got a lifetime left to go 

C           D7       G 
Following a trail of tears 


   C                  F      C 
A trail of teardrops always fall

Crawling through the trail of tears 


                     C     G 
You're asking me how I can tell 

C                D7          G 
But it's a story that I know well 

                           C    G 
Cause I've been walked all over hell 

C           D7       G 
Following a trail of tears
