AWell, when I come home this morning, 
It was still too dark to see
I could tell my baby wasn't sleeping next to me,
She's gone and lDeft me
Where to I guess I'll never Aknow
I Eonly know her leave has brought pain and misery to my Asoul
AWell, a note was on the pillow, she's gone without a doubt
I tried to read her writing, but I couldn't make it out
'Cause tears were fDalling too fast for me to even rAead
NEobody knows my sorrow, nobody knows my mAisery
MEy friends told me she'd leave me but I said they wasn't right
She gave no word of warning, she'd be leaving in the night
Can't undeDrstand her, what made my baby want to Ago?
I Edidn't hear her leaving, she didn't even close the Adoor
WAhen she'd come home this morning, I'd jump and shout with flee
She can't mean more to someone else
Than what she means to me, I love that wDoman
I got to have her all the tAime
I gDot to have her near me, to ease this misery on my mAind

Chords in this song · guitar

Well, when I come home this morning,

It was still too dark to see

I could tell my baby wasn't sleeping next to me,

She's gone and left me

Where to I guess I'll never know

E A

I only know her leave has brought pain and misery to my soul

Well, a note was on the pillow, she's gone without a doubt

I tried to read her writing, but I couldn't make it out

D A

'Cause tears were falling too fast for me to even read

E A

Nobody knows my sorrow, nobody knows my misery

My friends told me she'd leave me but I said they wasn't right

She gave no word of warning, she'd be leaving in the night

D A

Can't understand her, what made my baby want to go?

E A

I didn't hear her leaving, she didn't even close the door

When she'd come home this morning, I'd jump and shout with flee

She can't mean more to someone else

Than what she means to me, I love that woman

I got to have her all the time

D A

I got to have her near me, to ease this misery on my mind
