This is great song from the early 60's, if you can find it, I'd
check out the version by Luis Cardenas from the mid 80's. It is
truly a great rendition and really kicks. It was first time I'd
heard the lead, originally play on an organ, played on guitar ,
which is what I tabbed here.

[Verse]

Am G

As I walk along I wonder, what went wrong,

F E

with our love, a love we thought was strong.

Am G

And as I still walk on I think of, the things we done,

F E

together, when our hearts were young.


[Chorus]

A F#m

I'm a walkin' in the rain, tears are fallin' and I feel the pain.

A F#m A

Wishin' you were here by me, to end this misery, and I wonder...

F#m

I wa - wa - wa - wa - wonder.

A F#M D

Why. why - why - why - why - why - she ran away, and I wonder,

E A D E

when she will stay, my little runaway, run-run-run-run-runaway.


[Lead]
(really dirty up your guitar for this, make it mean & nasty)
(note: I wrote this in small increments to make easier to follow)
