[Intro]
A  A  A A

[Verse 1]
A               A/D             D
In the twilight glow I see her
E         E7            A
Blue eyes cryin' in the rain
                                   D
And as we kissed goodbye and parted
  E7                    A
I said we'd never meet again

[Verse 2]
D                           A
Love is like a dying ember
                   E7
With only memory remains
    A                             D
And through the ages I'll remember
E7                      A
Blue eyes cryin' in the rain

[Verse 3]
                                    D
And now my hair has turned to silver
E7               A
All my life I've loved in vain
                                  D
And I can see her star in heaven
E         E7            A
Blue eyes crying in the rain

[Verse 4]
D
Some day when we meet up yonder
A                          E
We'll stroll hand in hand again
A                              D
In a land that knows no partin'
E7                      A
Blue eyes crying in the rain

[Outro]
E                       A
Blue eyes crying in the rain
