Chords for Webb Pierce - Back Street Affair [1952] and Answer Song.

[Gb] _ _ [G] _ _ You [Am] _ [G] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ didn't know I wasn't free [C] when you fell in [G] love with _ me.
And with all your [D] young heart you learned [G] to care. _ _ _
It brought you shame and disgrace.
[Dm]
[C] The world has tumbled [D] in your face [Gb] because [G] they call our love a [D] _
backstreet [G] affair. _ _ _ _ _
They say you wrecked my home.
[C] I'm a husband that's [G] gone wrong. _
They don't know the sorrow [D] that we've had [G] to bear. _ _ _ _
For the one that I'm tied to [C] was the first to be [D] _ untrue.
And [G] yet they call our love [D] a _ _ [G] backstreet affair. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ [Bm] _ [D] _ _ _
[C] _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ [D] _ [G] _
[D] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
We have each other now.
That's [C] all that matters [G] anyhow. _
While the judgment [D] of gossip's never _ [G] fair. _ _ _ _
We'll just be brave and strong.
[C] Then someday they'll see [D] they're wrong.
So [G] let them call our love [D] a _ backstreet [G] affair. _ _ _ _ _ _
We'll be free to love someday. _
When [C] all the talk has died [G] away. _
And the happiness [D] we've hoped for then [G] we'll share. _ _ _ _ _
I'll climb a mountain high. _
[C] And the world will hear [D] me cry.
That [G] our love is not [D] a _ backstreet [G] _ affair. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ _ Yes I thought that you were true.
_ [Eb] When I fell in love [Bb] with _ you.
For you told me [F] you always would play [Bb] square. _ _ _ _
Then I learned you had a home.
That [Eb] your wife had not [F] gone wrong.
[Bb] And our love was just [F] a _ backstreet [Bb] affair.
_ _ _ Was too late to say no.
When [Eb] I found you'd fool me [Bb] so.
For as time passed on [F] I'd learned so much to [Bb] _
_ care.
_ _ Though I knew I must atone.
[Eb] But my will was not [F] my own.
[Bb] I'm paying for [F] that _ backstreet [Bb] affair. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ You didn't count the _ calls.
[Eb] You gambled and [Bb] I lost. _
Now I must pay [F] with hours of deep [Bb] despair.
_ _ _ _ You still can live your _ [Eb] life.
With a true forgiving [F] _ wife.
But [Bb] I can't live [F] down a backstreet _ affair.
_ [Bb] _ _ The love I gave so free.
_ [Eb] Is left to torture [Bb] me.
Though I know it's hopeless [F] and it [Bb] isn't fair. _ _
_ _ But still I must go _ on.
[Eb] While the gossips spread [F] are wrong.
[Bb] I'm paying for [F] that _ [Bb] backstreet affair. _ _ _ _
