Biography:
Del Shannon (30 December 1934–8 February 1990) (born Charles Weedon Westover in Coopersville, Michigan) was an American rock and roller who launched into fame with the No. 1 hit "Runaway" (1961) which introduced the musitron, an early form of the synthesizer played by "Runaway" co-writer and keyboard player Max Crook.
Shannon followed up with "Hats Off to Larry", another big hit, and the less popular "So Long, Baby", another song of breakup bitterness.

And as I walk along I wonder what went wrong
With our love a love that felt so strong
Am G
And as I still walk on I think of the things we've done
Am E
Together while our hearts were young

I'm a-walkin' in the rain

Tears are fallin' and I feel the pain
A
Wishin' you were here by me

To end this misery and I wonder
