I Catch Myself Crying
Recorded by Ricky Nelson, Jim Reeves & others
*This version by Ricky Nelson
Written by Roger Miller

I play this in C with no capo.  I've included a youtube
link below to Ricky's 'on–air' version, but honestly I
could never get the 'exact' key his was played in.  He
'appears' to be playing in C also, yet I could never get
his exact same 'sound', either my fault 'or' his guitar
tuned in something other than Standard.  (I don't know
which!!  G'ah!)  Regardless, the video will give you the
way the song is played and it's a wonderful tune.

Intro C

C                     C7     F         G7
It doesn't matter one way or another I say
        C      G7             F     C
But I'm lying  I catch myself crying
C                     C7           F        G7
There are fools I was one but it's over and done
        C       G7                 F      C
And I'm trying  but I catch myself crying

               F            G7                   C
I catch myself wondering if you'll find somebody new
               Am                  F
I catch myself wondering if you're wondering 
   G                  G7
If I'll find somebody too
C                            F         G7
It doesn't matter one way or another I say
        C      G7             F     C
But I'm lying  I catch myself crying

               F            G7                   C
I catch myself wondering if you'll find somebody new
               D7
I catch myself wondering if you're wondering 
   G7
If I'll find somebody too
C                     C7     F         G7
It doesn't matter one way or another I say
        C      G7             F     G
But I'm lying  I catch myself crying

*no note here  C      F     C *slow ending.
I catch myself crying

End
