Levi Stubbs' Tears

[Intro] Bm   F#m   G   A

[First Part]

         Bm
With the money from her accident
    G                       D      
She bought herself a mobile home
D/C#

      A                       
So at least she could get some 
    G
enjoyment
              Bm      Bm A
out of living alone
             G                     
No one could say she was left upon 
    D
the shelf
    A
Its you and me against the world she
 mumble to herself

[Chorus]

( C  G  D  A )
( C  G  D   B )

         C           G   
When the world falls apart 
  D          A       Bm     Bm A
somethings stay in place
G            A                   
Levis Stubbs tears roll down his 
Bm    F#m
face

[Second Part]

Continues after the ad
    Bm                 G    
She ran away from home in her 
                D      D/C#
mother's best coat
        A                      G  
She was married before she was 
              Bm     Bm  A
even entitled to vote
        G                       
And her husband was one of those 
 D
blokes
             A                     
The sort who only laughs at his own
 Bm
 jokes
    G                     D
The sort that a war takes away
               A
And when there wasn't a war he left 
her anyway

[Chorus]

( C  G  D  A )
( C  G  D   B )

         C           G   
When the world falls apart 
  D          A       Bm     Bm A
somethings stay in place
G            A                   
Levis Stubbs tears roll down his 
Bm
face
Ponte
G      D             F#m       A
Norman Whitfield and Barratt Strong
    G            D          F#m  
Are here to make right everything
        A
 that's wrong
G           D                  
Holland and Holland and Lamont 
F#m      G
Dozier too
    A
Are here to make it okay with you

[Third Part]

Bm                G              
One dark night he came home from 
    D    D/C#
the sea
          A                 G     
And put a hole in her body, where 
               Bm   Bm  A
no hole should be
            G                      
It hurt her more to see him walking
         D
 out the door
                A
And though they stiched her back 
together they left her heart in
              Bm      A
pieces on the floor
         G                
When the world falls apart 
 A                  Bm     Bm A
somethings stay in place
          G
She takes off the Four Tops tape
A                       Bm  A
and puts it back in its case
         G                
When the world falls apart 
 A                  Bm  Bm   A
somethings stay in place
G            A        Bm   A
Levis Stubbs tears
G            A        Bm   A
