I had a wife, I had a child  
  C            D    G 
I had a home up on a hill 
G                    D  
Had a good life for seven years  
    C              D     G 
Now all I?ve got is seven tears  
 
Went down to see my gypsy man  
He said, "Now son, I understand".  
When I said, "I want one for every year". 
He tattooed on my face, these seven tears  
 
    G           C         G D C 
Oh, seven tears, oh, seven tears 
              D           G 
I want one for every happy year 
          G          C          G D C 
My baby?s gone, she?s gone, gone, gone  
                D         G       
And I?ll cry forever, ever on

When I walk out into the lights of town  
People see me comin? and they gather round  
They wanna know how I ended up here  
With this tattoo on my face of seven tears  
 
Oh, seven tears, oh, seven tears  
I want one for every happy year  
My baby?s gone, she?s gone, gone, gone  
And I?ll cry forever, ever on  
 
Mmm, ooh
