                         "I'm Gonna Be Strong"
                      (Barry Mann - Cynthia Weil)

Intro:

	F      Fsus4      F      Fsus4
	/ / / /  / / / /  / / / /  / / / /

Verse 1:

	F
	I can see
	                 C7
	You're slipping away from me
	            F
	And you're so afraid
	                        Bb     Gm
	I'll plead with you to stay
	                  Am
	But I'm gonna be strong
	Bb      C7           F   [1: Gm C7]
	And let you go your way

Verse 2:

	Our love is gone
	There's no sense in holding on
	'Cause your pity now
	Would be too much to bear
	So I'm gonna be strong
	And pretend I don't care

Bridge:

	     C                   Bb/C               C
	I'm gonna be strong and stand as tall as I can
	          C                     Bb/C
	Yes, I'm gonna be strong and let you run along
	     Ab             C
	And take it like a man

Coda:

	          F
	When you say it's the end
	          Bb/F
	I'll just hand you a line
	  F
	I'll smile and say
	          Bb/F
	Don't you worry, I'm fine
	     F           C7/G
	And you'll never know
	        F/A        Bb          C
	Darling after you kiss me goodbye
	               Bb/C  C   F
	How I'll break down and cry

	  F        Bb/F      Db/F     Bbm/F       F
	  / / / /   / / / /   / / / /   / / / /   /
	(cry)
