Intro:
G+G C majorC G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G

G+G     C majorC   G+G        C majorC    G+G
On October Twenty-Third, Nineteen Seventy-Eight
 C majorC   G+G             D MajorD
I lost a loved one and I confess I cried
    G+G   C majorC  G+G       C majorC
In the joyous cele-bration of the lady and her music
      G+G      C majorC    G+G
There were tears in the Holston River
   D MajorD        G+G  G7G7
When Maybelle Carter died

   C majorC
Then walking down that river road
   G+G
I saw crystal tear-shaped droplets
                      D MajorD
Silver beads of love sparklin' on the river side
     G+G
And I'll just bet they turn to diamonds
    C majorC
For the love that was behind 'em
      G+G      C majorC    G+G
There were tears in the Holston River
   D MajorD        G+G
When Mother Maybelle died

    G+G  C majorC  G+G         C majorC
Then on Janu-ary Eighth, Nineteen-Seventy-Nine
    C majorC  G+G
We lost Sara Carter
            D MajorD
And the pain was multi-plied
    G+G    C majorC     G+G
Down be-low that old Clinch Mountain
  C majorC
We laid her at Mount Vernon
      G+G      C majorC    G+G
There were tears in the Holston River
   D MajorD      G+G  G7G7
When Sara Carter died

   C majorC
Then walking down that river road
 G+G
I saw crystal tear-shaped droplets
                      D MajorD
Silver beads of love sparklin' on the river-side
       G+G
And I'll just bet they turn to diamonds
    C majorC
For the love that was behind 'em
      G+G       C majorC    G+G
There were tears in the Holston River
   D MajorD        G+G
When Maybelle & Sara died

      G+G      C majorC    G+G
There were tears in the Holston River
      C majorC      G+G  D MajorD   G+G
