Iīm So Happy I Canīt Stop Crying - by Sting

Hi! I tried to find out the chords for this song and think what I found
sounds quite fine. Sting is maybe the only person who could make me love
country-songs...and he did it with this one!

If you want to get close to the original version put a capo on the 2nd fret.

Actually the song has only two main themes which are repeated throughout the
whole song:

E - H - c#m - A   and    H - c#m - A

Listen to the song and you will see which theme fits to which passage.


I'm So Happy I Can't Stop Crying
--------------------------------

E                           H
Seven weeks have passed now since she left me,

c#m                    A
she shows her face to ask me how I am

E                              H
she says the kids are fine and that they miss me

c#m                    A
Maybe I could come and baby-sit sometime

           H             c#m            A
she says, "Are you O.K.? I was worried about you.

H                    c#m                 A
Can you fogive me? I hope that you'll be happy."

E                   H
I'm so happy that I can't stop crying

c#m              A
I'm so happy I'm laughing through my tears

I saw a friend of mine. He said
"I was worried about you
I heard she had another man,
I wondered how you felt about it?"
I'm so happy that I can't stop crying
I'm so happy I'm laughing through my tears
Saw my lawyer, Mr. Good News
he got me joint custody and legal seperation
I'm so happy that I can't stop crying
I'm so happy I'm laughing through my tears.
I'm laughing through my tears

I took a walk alone last night.
I looked up at the stars
to try and find an answer in my life
I chose a star for me. I chose a star for him
I chose two stars for my kids and one for my wife
Something made me smile. Something seemed to ease the pain
Something about the universe and how it's all connected

The park is full of sunday fathers and melted ice cream
we try to do the best within the given time
A kid should be with his mother
everybody knows that
what can a father do but baby-sit sometimes?
I saw that friend of mine, he said,
"You look different somehow."
I said, "Everybody's got to leave the darkness sometime."
I'm so happy that I can't stop crying
I'm so happy I'm laughing through my tears.
I'm laughing through my tears
