  They never leave her while she sings, she makes them feel things

          Cm     G        Cm        Fm
she says "I can sing this song so blue
      Cm              Fm       G
that you will cry in spite of you
Cm               G             Fm
little wet tears on your baby's shoulder
Cm                                  G
little wet tears on your baby's shoulder

Cm          G            Cm         Fm
and I have walked these streets so long
            Cm                               Fm    G
there ain't nothin' right, there ain't nothin' wrong
         Cm              G           Fm
but the little wet tears on my baby's shoulder
Cm                            Fm      G
little wet tears on my baby's shoulder"

Cm            G          Fm          G
lady lights a cigarette, puffs away, no regrets
Fm                        G 
takes a look around, no regrets no regrets
Cm                 G             Fm      G
stretches out like branches of a poplar tree
      Fm          G
says "I am free", sings so soft as if she'll break

      Cm              G
says "I can sing this song so blue
     Fm                G
that you will cry in spite of you
Cm               G              Fm
little wet tears on your baby's shoulder
Cm                                 G
little wet tears on your baby's shoulder

Cm           G          Cm          Fm
and I have walked these streets so long
              Cm            Fm          G
there ain't nothin' right, nothin' wrong
          Cm             G           Fm
but the little wet tears on my baby's shoulder
Cm                              G
little wet tears on my baby's shoulder

C                       C7
but on this stage I've learned to fly
F                    D
learned to sing and learned to cry
Dm  
little wet tears on my baby's shoulder
F                       G
little wet tears on my baby's shoulder

C                    C7
but now it's time to say goodbye
F                   D
some might laugh, but I will surely cry
Dm
little wet tears on my baby's shoulder
F                       G
little wet tears on my baby's shoulder"

Fm
puffs away
     G           Fm
and winter comes
    G
and she
Cm
forgets
