^D Two teardrops were floatin' down the river
^D One teardrop said to the other
^Em I'm from the soft blue eyes of a woma ^A n in love ^D
D I'm a tear of joy she couldn't carry
^D She was so happy she just got married
^Em I was on her cheek when she wiped me away with h ^G er glove ^D
I ^Em could tell from the look on her face she didn't ^F#m need me ^G
So I drifted on d ^Em own and caug ^F#m ht me a ^G ride to the sea ^A
D The other tear said we've got a connection
^D I'm a tear of sorrow born of rejection
^Em I'm from the sad brown eyes of her old ^A flame ^D
D She told him they would be lifelong companions
^D Left him with questions and not any answers
I wa ^Em s on his cheek as he stood there call ^G ing her name ^D
I co ^Em uld tell he had a lot of my friends for ^G company ^G
So I ^Em drifted on down a ^F#m nd caught me a ride ^G to the sea ^A
