[Verse]
G C G
They tell me little darlin' that tomorrow you'll be wed
 A7 D7
You thought that you would hurt me but you hurt yourself instead 
 G C G
I'll always be the same old pal just as in years gone by 
 C G D7 G
I'll just set back and watch you while you sit alone and cry.
 
[Chorus]
G C G
Tears fallin' down your pretty cheeks
 A7 D7
Tears you can not hide and tears you can not keep
G C G
They are tears of sorrow and tears of delight
 D7 G 
I Wish I Had A Nickel, for every tear you shed last night.

[Verse]
G C G
I just dropped by to tell you that I wish you happiness
 A7 D7
I hope that you'll forgive me for intruding like this
 G C G
I hope my dear your happiness will follow through the years
 C G D7 G
I'll just set back and watch you, while you shed those bitter tears.

[Chorus]
G C G
Tears fallin' down your pretty cheeks
 A7 D7
Tears you can not hide and tears you can not keep
G C G
There are tears of sorrow and tears of delight
 D7 G 
I Wish I Had A Nickel, for every tear you shed last night.
