Intro: 
 A 
(Yum diddy um diddy um..yum diddy um diddy um.) 
 
#1. 
A        E             A 
How many tears can you cry when you're sad  
    Gbm 
and lonely? 
    D 
And how many tears can you cry when someone  
E 
makes you blue? 
G        D                            A 
That's a question I'm still unable to answer.. 
      E                           A 
cause I can't stop my cryin' over you. 
 A 
(Yum diddy um diddy um..yum diddy um diddy um.) 
 
#2. 
A        E            A 
How many lies can you count when you just  
      Gbm 
can't sleep at night? 
    D                                       E 
And how many lies can you count before your heart  
 
is free? 
D                                     A 
That's a question I'm still unable to answer.. 
      E                                       A 
cause I'm still countin' the lies you told to me. 
 
Bridge: 
A               D 
There's just no end to all the broken promises  
     A                 E                 A 
that I recall..I was a fool to fall, for you. 
            D 
It hurts to know you played a game and went and  
        A                Gbm        B 
had yourself a ball..and through it all, you made  
   E 
me blue. 
 
#3. 
    A                                        Gbm 
How-ow many tears can you cry when it all is over? 
    D                                        E 
And how many tears can you cry when you want someone  
 
new? 
D                                     A             E 
That's a question I'm still unable to answer..cause I  
              D        A 
can't stop my love for you.

 Bb                                             Gm7

cause I can't stop my love for you..(Yum diddy um diddy um.) 
Bb 
How many tears can you cry?

How many tears can you cry, whoa, whoa..

How many tears can you cry..tell me..

How many tears can you cry..(Fade.) 
 
 
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
