Chords for Drown In My Own Tears - Solomon Burke

[Eb] _ _ Think about_
[B] You _ [Eb] really get [Ab] heavy
[Db] You [Eb] _ [Ab] know, that's basically just [Gbm] about everything in my [Ab] life.
[Eb] _ Churchy blues
[F] To me Ray [Ab] Charles [Ebm] is still the [A] master and [Bb] the genius of everything [Eb] he touches.
[Cm] _ You know [Bb] that song Drowning on Tears [Eb] is one of my mother's favorite songs.
[Abm] _ _ [Cm] I [Eb] remember when she used to play it every time my father would be late.
No, she used to play it on a [Ab] record.
_ We had a big 78 then.
She would [B] play it.
[Ab] Every time my father would [B] be late [Gb] coming home from work on [B] Friday night, you [Gm] know
Probably stop off from about five or six [Fm] bars on the floor [Bb] and she [Gbm] would get on that record, you know
[Eb] She'd be looking out the window [Cm] waiting for him, [F] you know, Drowning on Tears.
That's what I like about it.
[Bb] Play it again.

_ [G] _ [Gb] _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Yeah
I look back over my life and I think [Gbm] about all the mistakes that I made in love. _
[Gb] Now I learned what different strokes for different [Ab] folks was.
_ [Eb] _
How good a stroke could be and how bad a stroke could be.
[G] _
And how much fun it could be to be able [Cm] to sock it to somebody and have somebody sock it back to [Gm] you.
[Eb] _ But then to turn around and [F] hear a song like this
[Eb] _ It makes you [C] stop and wonder how much wrong have you [Am] done and how much right have you done [Ebm] to deserve the wrong that you're getting.
[Eb] _ [G] _

But _ [Eb] if you don't see _
_ _ [E] _ [G] _ [F] _ [Gm] You'll be home _ [Cm] soon
_ [Eb] _ _ [Fm] Sometime [C] tomorrow
