                      Tracks Of My Tears    (Justin Hayward) (as interpreted 
by Richard Lavallee)  The original submission was in the key of F, but 
G is where smoky robinson sang it, and I also added the diminuendo chords 
and the minor chord at the bridge and improved the chord timing relative to 
the lyrics. The timing and rhythm of this song are simply fascinating

 G C   C D   G C   C C/B C/A G

 G      C                       D      G       C    C(C/B C/A) G
People say I'm the life of ....party, cause ...joke.. two

 G             C             D      G      C      C (C/B C/A) G
Although ...laughing loud ...hearty, deep inside. . .  blue

            G     C                    D 
 So take a good look at my face, ...
                G     C                    D 
 You'll see my smile looks out of place ...
             G            C              C
 If you look closer it's easy to trace
      D            G   C    C (C/B C/A) G
 The tracks of my tears

         C  G      C G
 I need you, need you

   G        C                      D      G    C      
 Since you left me if you see .... girl  
  G               C    (C/B C/A) G
Seeming like I'm ...fun 
    G         C                 D       G       C  C(C/B C/A) G
 Although .. cute she's ..substitute ..  you're  . . .    one

Chorus

   C G               C  G      C  G         C   G
 Outside, I'm masquerading, inside  . . .. fading

            C  G       C  G        
  I'm Just a clown, ...
      Em                                         D
 My smile is my make-up I wear ....             you

  Chorus

   Repeat  . . .
