Em I met them first on their wedding night Faces were flushed by their pledges plight Am We passed in the hall and I met them well CM7 Bdim Am Adim Gm (M7 7) Gm9 But as their carriage arrived, I found that I couldn't quite tell them
Em Am It's not very far from tears to mirth Am Em There are not many moments that will capture your breath Am (walk) Em C/G It's not very long that you spend on this earth Em (walk) then C B7 She'd never know just what Harry was worth Em She'll never know
He walked the wet sands of summertime Rain beat the window in drummertime Cruel with his humour She was quick with her tongue But though a year had passed The honeymoon didn't last Somehow they didn't seem young
It's not very far from tears to mirth There are not many moments that will capture your breath It's not very long that you spend on this earth She'd never know just what Harry was worth She'll never know
C D/F# G They're on their holi - days Am D G But they still find a reason to fight C D G No matter how long they stay Am D (Em) Can't make the rest of the year right Five years had passed 'til I happened along He said, "Do you hear that noise? Well, that once was our song" I looked in her eyes and saw barely a spark He laughed too loud then he drank until dark
It's not very far from tears to mirth It's not many moments that will capture your breath It's not very long that you spend on this earth She'd never know just what Harry was worth She'll never know what Harry was worth
She'll never know what Harry was worth No, she'll never know what Harry was worth She'll never know what Harry was worth No, she'll never know what Harry was worth She'll never know what Harry was worth
* This is a rough sketch based on the youtube clip of the performance at 2013-11-27 Morristown, NJ; hopefully someone can improve upon it shortly. * Note Elvis’s active thumb and fingerpicking technique throughout the solo performance.
