INTRO: |E    |B  B A G#m F#m|

VERSE 1:

E                |A         E
I've been up  and down  the highway,
        |A            F#7     |D   B7
and I've seen  what a man  can do.
  |E                   |A        E    |
To some  little girl  a-long the byway,
A              B7                |E  B A G#m F#m|
  that's why I sing this  song to you.   If  you

BRIDGE:

E                 E7
find  your baby's gone,
       |A
and you don't know  where or when.
   |E               E7    |
You wonder, yes you wonder,
F#7                          B7
   If you'll ever see him  a-gain.
       |E          E7
Just re-member, re-member,
     |A               Am
these simple words  I brought.

CHORUS:

       |E                   B7
Soon it won't hurt, half as much.
     |E                   A
No it won't hurt, half as much.
      |E                   B7
No  it won't hurt, half as much
      |E       B A G#m F#m  |
as you thought.       'Cause

VERSE 2:

E                  |A         E      |
I've  been  up  and down  the highway,
A                     F#7       |D   B7  |
  and I watch them as they  pass by.
E                    |A                   E     |
Broken  hearts  and I wish  that they  go my way,
A                            B7            |E
  I'd save them every little teardrop  they cry.
          B     A G#m F#m|
Won't you listen. If  you

E          E7         |
think  you can't go on,
A                                      |
  and life ain't got it for you no more.
E               E7           |
  You're waitin'  every night,
F#7                                     B7
   for him to come walkin' through that door.
       |E          E7
Just re-member, re-member,
     |A                    Am
these simple words  that I brought.

CHORUS:

       |E                   B7
Soon it won't hurt, half as much.
     |E                   A
No it won't hurt, half as much.
     |E                   B7
No it won't hurt, half as much
      |E       B7
as you thought.

       |E                   B7
Well it won't hurt, half as much.
     |E                   A
No it won't hurt, half as much.
        |E                   B7
Lord, it won't hurt, half as much
      |E       B7
as you thought.

OUTRO (in fade out):

                    |E        B7
And everytime you're sad, you cry.
    |E                                 A|
Just feel like, you won't lay down and dy.
