[Verse 1]
GFor many years I've been a rolling stone my Cdarling
Like a Ggypsy I have roamed from place to D7place
Fortune Gnever came to me how Chappy I would be
Just to Glook again upon D7your smiling Gface
[Chorus]
Now if I should wanGder back tonight would you be waCiting
Would your Geyes be filled with love's own tender D7light
Would your Garms be empty dear would you Cthrill to find me near
Would you Glove me if I'd D7wander back Gtonight
[Instrumental]
G   C   G    D7

[Verse 2]
GWhen budding flowers bring their fragrance to the spring Ctime
I reGcall the roses crowding 'round the dD7oor
Fancy tGhen I homeward stay as I Cseem to hear you say
that you lGove me as you diD7d in days of Gyore
[Chorus]
Now if I should wanGder back tonight would you be waCiting
Would your Geyes be filled with love's own tender D7light
Would your Garms be empty dear would you Cthrill to find me near
Would you Glove me if I'd D7wander back Gtonight

GLast night I dreamed that you and I were back tCogether
I Gheld your hand so gently in my D7own
Heard you Gsay we'd never part as I Cpressed you to my heart
Then I Gwoke in tears to D7find myself Galone
[Chorus]
Now if I should wanGder back tonight would you be waCiting
