It Keeps Right On A-Hurtin'. Johnny Tillotson. Top of the charts in '62. #1. G G7 I cry myself to sleep each night, C Wishing I could hold you tight. G D Life seems so empty since you went a..way. G G7 The pillow where you lay your head, C Now holds my lonely tears instead, D G And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone. CHORUS: D C It keeps right on a-hurtin', every minute of the day. D G Every hour you're away I feel so lone..lonely. C And I can't help it, I don't think I can go on, D G And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone. #2. G G7 They say a man should never cry, C But when I see you passin' by, G D My heart breaks down and cries a million tears. G G7 You broke my heart and set me free, C But you forgot your memory, D G And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone. CHORUS: REPEAT #2. CHORUS: A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
