Verse 1
G 
Well if the moon had eyes
C 
it'd see me crying,
G 
crying over you
And if the stars had ears
they'd hear me every night
A 
D 
singing this lonesome tune
C 
G 
I stand here by the river
C 
G 
thinking about the love gone bad
C 
G 
But it was too late when I realized
D 
C 
G 
C 
D 
the best wasn't what I had
G 
C 
A fog on blows in the distance
G 
C 
as if my jag ain't intact
G 
I  watch the tugboat
comin' round bendy
A 
D 
and passin' out of sight
C 
G 
Like your love it's always comin' and
C 
G 
goin' on its way to someplace new
C 
G 
And I'm left here by the riverside
D 
just cryin' over you
