Simple, country flavoured song from The Quo. From the album In The Army Now.

E MajorE         BB            E MajorE  E7E7
I got an invitation from a girl I used to know back home
     A augmentedA         C# minorC#m    F#F#  BB
It was an invitation asking me to telephone
        E MajorE       E7E7
She said, it's getting lonely here
       A augmentedA        A minorAm
And I've been gone for close a year
      E MajorE              BB            E MajorE
I took the first flight out to meet the girl I used to know back home

C#m, BB E MajorE
C# minorC#m

BB   E MajorE             BB            E MajorE  E7E7
She met me off the flight, a million dollars in her long red gown
    A augmentedA             C# minorC#m       F#F#  BB
With a man in a black hat just to drive us back to town
    E MajorE         E7E7
Now the faces all look the same
      A augmentedA            A minorAm
And all the places have the same old names
     E MajorE                 BB            A augmentedA
But in a year you've changed just like the girl I used to know back home
     E MajorE                 BB            E MajorE
Yes, in a year you've changed just like the girl I used to know back home

A augmentedA      BB       E MajorE
 Maybe it's true that I go on and on and on
A augmentedA      BB         C# minorC#m
 Maybe it's true that I'm the lonely one alone
      A augmentedA           BB
What can I say to you, what can I say to you?
     E MajorE                 BB            E MajorE
Yes, in a year you've changed just like the girl I used to know back home

C#m, BB E MajorE
C#m, BB E MajorE
C#m, BB E MajorE
C#m, BB A augmentedA BB

It took another year before I started getting itchy toes
And then I had to leave, but that's the way the story goes
Well I reckon if she'd made me stay
I'd never live to see another day
I took the first flight out and left the girl I used to know back home

Maybe it's true that I go on and on and on
Maybe it's true that I'm the lonely one alone
What can I say to you, what can I say to you?
I took the first flight out and left the girl I used to know back home
   E MajorE    C# minorC#m      BB  E MajorE
Back home, I left the girl back home
C# minorC#m       BB  E MajorE
 I left the girl back home
C# minorC#m       BB  E MajorE
 I left the girl back home
C# minorC#m       BB  E MajorE
 I left the girl back home
C# minorC#m       BB  E MajorE
 I left the girl back home
