Lyrics
When You No Longer Cry (capo 3 F Harmonica)
Bridge
Em D
Cryin’ brings out all the emotion
Em D
With tears to fill the Atlantic Ocean
Em D
Causing a whole lot of commotion
G A D
Showing all your love and devotion
Chorus
D A
How do you know it’s time to go?
D A
Time to say good-bye
D G
How do you know it’s time to go?
D A D
Well, you know when you no longer cry.
(1)
A D
When you’re young the days go slow
A D
It seems like you’ll never grow
A D
And being a kid you feel so small
G A D
When all you cry for is to grow tall.
(2)
A D
Years go by; you’re full grown
A D
You have a few kids of your own
A D
Sure, it’s pretty much the best
G A D
When you all you cry for is a good night’s rest.
Chorus
D A
How do you know it’s time to go?
D A
Time to say good-bye
D G
How do you know it’s time to go?
D A D
Well, you know when you no longer cry.

Bridge
Em D
Cryin’ brings out all the emotion
Em D
With tears to fill the Atlantic Ocean
Em D
Causing a whole lot of commotion
G A D
Showing all your love and devotion
(3)
A D
Middle age creeps up so fast
A D
But it still feels like things will last
A D
Like the oldies on the radio station
G G D
When you all you cry for is a sweet vacation
(4)
A D
Where did the years go?
A D
Watching the grandkids grow
A D
Taking a bow; once last cheer
G A D
When all you cry for is one more year.
Chorus
D A
How do you know it’s time to go?
D A
Time to say good-bye
D G
How do you know it’s time to go?
D A D
Well, you know when you no longer cry
D A D
Yeah, you know when you no longer cry.
