Before the Next Teardrop Falls

by Freddy Fender, 1975

Orig. key A
v.1
If he Gbrings you happiness, then I Cwish you both the Gbest
It's your Chappiness that Dmatters most of GallD
But if GI should ever hear that he Cmade you shed a Gtear
CI'll be Gthere before the Dnext teardrop Gfalls

Chorus:
I'll be Cthere anyDtime you Gneed me by your side
To Adry away any teardrops that you've Dcried
If he Gever breaks your heart if the Cteardrops ever Gstart
CI'll be Gthere before the Dnext teardrop Gfalls

Instr. Brk.

v.2
Though it hurts to see you go, darlin' I want you to know
That I'll stand by you if ever you should call
But if he ever leaves you blue, just remember I love you
I'll be there before the next teardrop falls
I'll be there before the next teardrop falls
