96 Tears

Stranglers version (NOT Question Mark And The Mysterians - different key) 


Intro (and most of the song): F#, B7 


         F#             B7              F#      B7  
Too many teardrops for one heart to be crying 

         F#             B7              F#      B7 (and repeat all through except bridge) 
Too many teardrops for one heart to carry on 

You're way on top now since you left me 
You're always laughing way down at me 
But watch out now I'm gonna get down 
We'll be together for just a little while 
And then I'm gonna put you way down here 
And you'll start crying 96 tears 

Cry, you're gonna cry 

{bridge} 

D#m                      D#m B 
And when the sun comes up      
              B D#m 
I'll be on top 
                    D#m B 
You'll be right down   
                B D#m 
there looking up 
                    D#m B 
I'm gonna get to you  
              B D#m 
but I know now 

             F#  B7        F# B7 etc  
You're gonna cry 96 tears 
You're gonna cry 96 tears 

You're gonna cry 96 tears 
You're gonna cry 96 tears 
You're gonna cry, cry, cry, cry now 
You're gonna cry, cry, cry, cry now 

Too many teardrops, all night long 
Too many teardrops 

Cry, cry, cry, cry now 
You're gonna cry, cry, cry, cry now 
96 tears 
All night long now 

You're gonna cry, cry, cry, cry now 
96 tears 
Cry, cry, cry now 
96 tears 
Cry, cry, cry now 
96 tears 

You're gonna cry 96 tears 
You're gonna cry 96 tears 
You're gonna cry, cry, cry, cry now 
You're gonna cry, cry, cry, cry now 
You're gonna cry, cry, cry, cry now
