verse 1 
     G                       C             G 
Last night I came home and I knocked at my door 
      G                                 D7 
And I called for my love as I oft had before 
  G             G7         C            G 
I called once again but no answer there came 
   G                         D7            G 
No sweet lips to greet me no voice call my name

I couldn't believe it was true oh Lord 
  C                       G 
I couldn't believe it was true 
   G 
My eyes filled with tears and I must have aged ten years 
  G          D7           G 
I couldn't believe it was true

verse 2 
  G                   C             G 
I let myself in and I walked to our bed 
  G                                    D7 
I found a note there and the message I read 
    G            G7            C           G 
The truth like a bolt from the blue then begone 
   G                         D7          G 
My sweetheart had left me my darling was gone

verse 3 
    G                       C         G 
The shock was so great I am quivering yet 
     G                                 D7 
I'll try to forgive her but I cannot forget 
   G             G7        C           G 
My heartbreaking loss is another man's gain 
   G                      D7       G 
Her happiness I hope will always remain
