 Straight strumming is best for this song. The verse sounds good with a 
 little arpeggiation, but this is a pretty straightforward tune. Kinda 
 doo-wop like (real Frankie Vallie stuff, here). 
  
 {Prologue} 
  
 G 
 A year ago today 
 Em 
 Was when you went away 
 C 
 But now you come back knocking on my door 
 D 
 And you say you're back to stay, but I say 
  
  
 {Chorus 1} 
 G  Em      C               D 
 Go cry on somebody else's shoulder 
 G            Em 
 I'm somewhat wiser now 
 C                  D 
 And one whole year older 
 G            Em 
 I sure don't need you now 
 C       D           G     Em C D7 
 I don't love you anymore 
  
 {Chorus 2} 
 G              Em 
 You cheated me baby 
     C               D 
 And told some dirty lies about me 
 G                             Em 
 Fooled around with all those other guys 
 C                   D 
 That's why I had to set you free 
 G            Em 
 I sure don't need you now 
 C       D           G     C G G7 
 I don't love you anymore 
  
  
 {Verse} 
 C 
 A year ago today 
 Cm 
 You went away 
 G                             G7 
 And now you come back crying, crying darling to me 
 C 
 I don't need you 
 Cm 
 No I don't love you anymore 
 A7                     D7 
 So go lean on, go cry, on somebody else's door 
  
 {chorus 1} 
  
 C 
 Go ahead and cry 
 Cm 
 Go ahead and let the tears fall out oy your eyes 
 G 
 Let 'em fall on your dress 
 G7 
 Who cares if it makes a mess 
 C 
 I gave you my high school ring 
 Cm 
 At the rootbeer stand 
 A7 
 We had a teenage love, baby 
   D7 
 I thought it was sharp it was really so grand, but 
  
 {chorus 2} 
 (change line from "That's why I had to set you free" to "That's 
 why I had to get my khaki's pressed") 
  
 repeat chorus chords and fade while blubbering about how much you love this 
 woman.
