Intro:  
 Eb     Db               Eb                   Ab 
(And it keeps right on a-hurting since you're gone.) 
 
#1. 
  Ab                       Ab7 
I cry myself to sleep each night.. 
Db 
wishing I could hold you tight.. 
     Ab                               Eb 
life seems so empty since you went a..way. 
    Ab                        Ab7 
The pillow where you lay your head.. 
    Db 
now holds my lonely tears instead.. 
       Eb                                    Ab  Db Ab 
and it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone. 
 
   Eb                              Db 
It keeps right on a-hurtin', every minute of the day. 
      Eb                         Ab 
Every hour you're away I feel so lone..lonely. 
                             Ab7            Db 
And I can't help it, I don't think I can go on.. 
       Eb                                    Ab  Db Ab.. 
and it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone. 
 
OUTRO: 
           Eb                              Db 
I said, it keeps right on a-hurtin', every minute of the day. 
      Eb                         Ab 
Every hour you're away I feel so lone..lonely. 
                             Ab7            Db 
And I can't help it, I don't think I can go on.. 
       Eb                                    Ab  Db Ab. 
and it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone.
