There were [G]tears in the [C]Holston [G]River
When [D]Maybelle Carter died

[Verse 2]
Then [C]walking down that river road
I saw [G]crystal tear-shaped droplets
droplets
Silver beads of love sparklin'
On the river side

And I'll just [G]bet they turn to diamonds
For the [C]love that was behind 'em
