       G                G7            C                  G 
If he brings you happiness, then I wish you both the best
           C               D                G      D7 
It' s your happiness that matters most of all
           G                 G7             C               G 
But if he ever breaks your heart, if the teardrops ever start

 C        G                 D7             G    C    G   D7 
I' ll be there before the next teardrop falls

       G             G7      C            G 
Si te quiere de verdad, y te da felicidad
      C           D             G      D7 
Te deseo lo mas bueno pa' los dos
      G              G7         C            G 
Pero si te hace llorar, a mi me puedes hablar

   C    G           D7               G    C    G 
Y estare contigo cuando triste estas

 G7       C         D7        G 
I' ll be there anytime you need me by your side
    A     A7         D                  D7 
To dry away every teardrop that you cry

           G                G7            C               G 
And if he ever leaves you blue, just remember, I love you

     C        G                 D7             G      C 
And I' ll be there before the next teardrop falls        / (3rd Fret)
             G                 D7             G       C      G 
And I' ll be there before the next teardrop falls
