Intro: BbmBbm


Verse 1:

BbmBbm         G#G#             F#F#              F7F7
As I walk along, I wonder what went wrong, with our love, a love that was so strong.

And as I still walk on, I think of, the things we've done together, while our hearts were young


Chorus 1:

Bb majorBb              G minorGm
I'm out walking in the rain, tears are falling and I feel the pain
Bb majorBb              G minorGm
Wishing you were here by me, to end this misery
   Bb majorBb           G minorGm
And I wonder, I wa-wa-wa-wa-wonder
Bb majorBb        G minorGm
Why? wh-wh-wh-wha-why, she ran away

   D#D#           F7F7
And I wonder, where she will stay?
     Bb majorBb    D#D#          Bb majorBb    F7F7
My little runaway, run, run, run, run, runaway.

Wishing you were here by me, to end this misery
   Bb majorBb           G minorGm
