Del Shannon cover 
Am A 
As I walk along 
   G 
I wonder what went wrong 
      F                              E 
With our love, a love that was so strong 
  A 
And as I still walk on 
    G 
I think of the things we've done 
  F                                 E 
Together, a-while our hearts were young 
 
A 
I'm a-walkin' in the rain 
F#m 
Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain 
A 
Wishin' you were here by me 
F#m 
To end this misery 
A 
And I wonder 
F#m                E 
I wah-wah-wah-wah-wonder 
A 
Why 
                    F#m          D 
Why, why, why, why, why she ran away 
D 
And I wonder 
                    E 
A-where she will stay-ay 
A 
My little runaway 
D                    A      E 
Run, run, run, run, runaway

D 
And I wonder 
                  E 
A-where she will stay-ay 
             A 
My little runaway 
D                     A 
Run, run, run, run, runaway 
D                       A 
Run, run, run, run, runaway 
D                       A
