THAT'S HOW A HEARTACHE BEGINS
-----------------------------

Written by Harlan Howard
Recorded by Patsy Cline, Sept 10th 1962

Key G# - Capo 1st fret, play G

Intro :  G Am G Am G C Am D

       G                     Am                  G
Tell a little white lie, and then multiply it by ten
    C      Am            D         G          D
And then,  that's how a heartache begins
         G                        Am                G
Mix some flowers he bought with a date he forgot to attend
    C      Am            D         G 
And then,  that's how a heartache begins


(Chorus)   G7
  C                        G
I know about heartaches, I know all the mistakes
     Am                         G
That young love can make - I've made them
   C                             G
So let's still be friends to the soft violins
      Am            A7              D
I've listened while somebody played them
         G              Am                        G
Call his number in vain again and again, he's not in
    C      Am            D         G 
But then,  that's how a heartache begins


(Repeat Chorus)

 Am          D         G 
That's how a heartache begins ....
