PACK UP YOUR SORROWS
By: Richard Farina, Pauline Marden
Judy Collins, Iris Dement
Key: C

5   6  5-4  4    -6  -6  -6 7  -6 6  -5
No use cry-ing, talk-ing to a strang-er,
5    5   5   6    6     6    -4
Nam-ing the sor-rows you've seen
5    5  6  5   5-44  -6  -6  7 -66  -5
Too man-y bad times, too man-y sad times
5   5 -5  -4     5  -4   4
No-bod-y knows what you mean

Chorus:

5   5    5  -5   5    5
But if some-how you could 
-5   -5  -5   6   -5
pack up your sor-rows
5     5    5  -5  5  -4
and give them all to me
5     5    -5    5  -5  -5  -5  -5  6   -5
You would lose them, I know how to use them
5      5  -4  -4  4
Give them all to me


No use rambling, walking in the shadows,
trailing a wandering star
No one beside you, no one to hide you
and nobody knows what you are

(Chorus)

No use gambling, running in the darkness,
Looking for a spirit that's free
Too many wrong times, too many long times
Nobody knows what you see

(Chorus)

No use roaming, going by the roadside,
Seeking a satisfied mind
Too many highways, too many byways,
and nobody's walking behind

(Chorus)

Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
