Tuning: Standard EBGDAE

Difficulty: Novice

E              E
Last night I came home and I knocked at my door
  E         E       B7
I called for my love as oft I had before
  E              E
I called once again but no answer there came
  E             B7       E
No sweet lips to greet me, no voice called my name

[chorus]
 E            E        A           E
I couldn't believe it was true oh Lord I couldn't believe it was true
  E              E
My eyes filled with tears and I must have aged ten years
 E      B7     E
I couldn't believe it was true

I let myself in and I walked to our bed
I found a note there and a message I read
The truth like a bolt from the blue in the dawn
My sweetheart had left me, my darling was gone

(chorus)

The shock was so great I am quivering yet
I'll try to forgive her but I cannot forget
My heartbreaking loss is another mans gain
Her happiness always I hope will remain
