     Love sees love's happiness

G+G           A augmentedA                           D MajorD  - :|
  but happiness can't see that love is sad
sadness is hanging there
to show love somewhere something needs a change
they need a change

Chorus:
|:               D MajorD                     -
They'll need a crane, they'll need a crane

              D MajorD    /    A augmentedA       G+G
to take the house he built for her apart

            F# minorF#m              -
to make it break it's gonna take

        F# minorF#m    /    G+G       A augmentedA :|
a metal ball hung from a chain

they'll need a crane, they'll need a crane
to pick the broken ruins up again
to mend her heart, to help him start
to see a world apart from pain

Lad's gal is all he has
gal's gladness hangs upon the love of lad
some things gal says to lad
aren't mean't as bad but cause a little pain
they cause him pain

(Chorus)

Lad looks at other gals
gal thinks Jim Beam is handsomer than lad - he isn't bad
call off the wedding band
nobody wants to hear that one again
play that again
