Capo 3rd Fret

                            E7

Well, I had to go down to see a guy named Mr. Goldsmith
E7
Nasty, dirty, double-crossing, back-stabbing phony I didn't want to have to deal with
    A7                                                                 E7
But I did it for you and all you gave me was a smile
                                                       A7                  E       E7       A       C7       E
Well, I cried for you, now it's your turn to cry a while.


I don't carry dead weight, I'm no flash in the pan
All right, I'll set you straight, can't you see I'm a union man
I'm letting the cat out of the cage, I'm keeping a low profile
Well, I cried for you, now it's your turn, you can cry a while.

Feel like a fighting rooster, feel better than I ever felt
But the Pennsylvania Line in an awful mess and the Denver road's about to melt
I went to a Church house, every day I go an extra mile
Well, I cried for you, now your turn, you can cry a while.

Last night, 'cross the alley, there was a pounding on the wall
It must have been Don Pasquale making a 2 a.m. booty call
To break a trusting heart like mine was just your style
Well, I cried for you, now it's your turn to cry a while.

I'm on the fringes of the night, fighting back tears that I can't control
Some people they ain't human, they got no heart or soul
But I'm crying to the Lord, trying to be meek and mild
Yes, I cried for you, now it's your turn, you can cry a while.

(Instrumental)

Well the preacher's in the pulpit and the babies in their cribs
I'm longing for that sweet fat that sticks to your ribs
But I'm gonna buy me a barrel of whisky, I'll die before I turn senile
Yes, I cried for you, now it's your turn, you can cry a while.

Well, you bet on the horse, and it ran the wrong way
I always said you'd be sorry and today could be the day
I might need a good lawyer, could be your funeral, my trail
Well, I cried for you, now it's your turn, you can cry a while.
