Chris Hillman       Congratulations Anyway     written by Jim & Jesse

B                            E
I saw you with your new love today
  F#                                 E              B
Although I tried to turn my head and look the other way
     B                                                 E
Just being there so close to you was more than I could bare
   F#                                           B
Although I tried I can't forget about our love afair
B                                 F#
Congratatulations  was so hard to say
F#                                 E                B
As I shook your new love hands you looked the other way
   B
Although my dreams have ended
                        E
I've tried to smile and say
F#                                     B
I'm the loser   but congratulations anyway

SOLO

B                                  E
I know its foolish  to keep loving you
    F#                               E             B
But I can't hide my  broken heart no matter what I do
B                                            E
Maybe someday I'll forget the love we shared somehow
    F#                                          B
But let me be the first to say  congratulations now
B                                 F#
Congratatulations  was so hard to say
F#                                 E                B
As I shook your new love hands you looked the other way
   B
Although my dreams have ended
                        E
I've tried to smile and say
F#                                     B
I'm the loser   but congratulations anyway
F#                                     B
I'm the loser   but congratulations anyway
