These Eyes by The Guess Who

This is a slightly different and longer version than the original Guess Who version. I stretched out the song and gave it a nice subtle ending.

Song: These Eyes
By:   The Guess Who

[intro:]  4X [  Dm7     Cmaj7      C  ]  
[verse: 1]
      Dm7            Cmaj7      C
These eyes cry every night for you
      Dm7          Cmaj7      C     C/B
These arms long to hold you again

{chorus: 1]
Am              C
The hurtin's on me
Am              C
I will never be free
Am                    C
You gave a promise to me
         G
And you broke it

1X [  Dm7     Cmaj7      C  ]

[verse: 2]
      Dm7            Cmaj7      C
These eyes watched you bring my world to an end
      Dm7          Cmaj7      C     C/B
This heart could not accept and pretend

{chorus: 2]
Am              C
The hurtin's on me
Am              C
I will never be free
Am                    C
You took a vow with me
         G               G
When you spoke it  you spoke it 

[bridge:]
Fmaj7/G  Cmaj7
               These eyes
Fmaj7/G  Cmaj7
               are cryin'
Fmaj7/G         Cmaj7
These eyes have seen a lot of loves
            Fmaj7/G                 Cmaj7               D
But they're never gonna see another one like I had with you
