I sat in with a band down in Dallas
EDA
I'd been introduced as a guest
DA
When a little white haired man approached the bandstand
DE7A
Said I wonder if you'd play one last request
ADA
Oh please play me a song I can cry to
EDA
Sad songs are music to my ears
ADA
Play me a song I can cry to
DE7A
Play me a song that sounds like tears
VerseADA
I stood by as the band started playing
EDA
And I didn't even try to play along
DA
Aw my eyes had followed him back to the corner
DE
Where he sat down at a table all alone
Verse ADA
And a smile slowly came across his teardrops
EDA
And I watched as he slowly bowed his head
DA
Just before he left this world for one much better
DEA
I remember the little lonely man had said
ADA
Oh please play me a song I can cry to
EDA
Sad songs are music to my ears
ADA
Play me a song I can cry to
DE7A
Play me a song that sounds like tears
DE7A
Play me a song that sounds like tears
