[Verse 1]
Last Gnight I came G7home and I Cknocked on the Gdoor

No Gkisses to greet me no D7voice call my Gname
[Chorus]
I Gcouldn't believe it was true oh G7Lord

My Geyes filled with tears I must have aged ten years
I Gcouldn't beD7lieve it was Gtrue
[Verse 2]
I Glet myself G7in and I Cwalked to our Gbed
I Gfound a note there and the message I D7read
The Gtruth like a G7bolt from the Cblue in the Gdawn
My Gsweetheart had left me my D7darling had Ggone

I Gcouldn't believe it was true oh G7Lord
I Ccouldn't believe it was Gtrue
My Geyes filled with tears I must have aged ten years
