Percy Sledge - First You Cry


CAPO: 2nd Fret



Intro:
C   G   Am   G   F

Verse 1:
                     G
It don't come cheap
                          F
When they look like that
                             G
And they're so hard to keep
                       C
And they move so fast
                  F
Soon you'll find
                       Am
It's all for the best
               Bb    F
Put the past behind
                G
And the hurt to rest

Chorus:
         C
But first you cry
    G
Then you sigh
         Am
Somebody lied
                     F
And you can't run and hide
           C
Don't be so sad
        G
It ain't so bad
           Am  F
You'll get by
              C       G  F
Oh, but first you cry


Verse 2:
                 G
Candy Mountains
                 F
Streets of Gold
                  G
Oh, the promises
                         C
How they just turn cold
                         F
Till the sun will shine
                           Am
There will be warmer days
                  Bb    F
You'll be feeling fine
                  G
If you just walk away


Chorus:
         C
But first you cry
    G
Then you sigh
         Am
Somebody lied
                     F
And you can't run and hide
           C
Don't be so sad
        G
It ain't so bad
           Am  F
You'll get by
              C       G
Oh, but first you cry


Instrumental:
C   G   Am  Bb  C   F


Bridge:
                 Am
Don't look back
                         F
There's nothing to gain

'Cause there ain't no happiness
    G
Without a little rain


Chorus:
         C
But first you cry
    G
Then you sigh
         Am
Somebody lied
                     F
And you can't run and hide
           C
Don't be so sad
        G
It ain't so bad
           Am  F
You'll get by
              C       G
Oh, but first you cry


Chorus:
     C
First you cry
    G
Then you sigh
         Am
Somebody lied
                     F
And you can't run and hide
           C
Don't be so sad
        G
It ain't so bad
           Am  F
You'll get by
              C       G    Am  Bb  C
Oh, but first you cry
