A
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,
                D
She's gone and left me
                            A
Where to I guess I'll never know
  E                                                     A
I only know her leave has brought pain and misery to my soul
A
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
 E
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
 A
When she'd come home this morning, I'd jump and shout with flee
She can't mean more to someone else
                                        D
Than what she means to me, I love that woman
                           A
I got to have her all the time
   D                                                  A
I got to have her near me, to ease this misery on my mind
