[Verse 1] GG7CG Last night I came home and I knocked on the door GD7 I called to my love as I oft had before GG7CG I knocked and I knocked but no answer there came GD7G No kisses to greet me no voice call my name
[Chorus] GG7 I couldn't believe it was true oh Lord CG I couldn't believe it was true G My eyes filled with tears I must have aged ten years GD7G I couldn't believe it was true
[Verse 2] GG7CG I let myself in and I walked to our bed GD7 I found a note there and the message I read GG7CG The truth like a bolt from the blue in the dawn GD7G My sweetheart had left me my darling had gone
[Chorus] GG7 I couldn't believe it was true oh Lord CG I couldn't believe it was true G My eyes filled with tears I must have aged ten years GD7G I couldn't believe it was true
[Instrumental] GG7CG GD7 GG7CG GD7G
[Verse 3] GG7CG The shock was so great I am quivering yet GD7 I'll try to forgive but I cannot forget GG7CG My heartbreaking loss is another man's gain GD7G Her happiness always I hope will remain
[Instrumental] GG7CG GD7 GG7CG GD7G
[Chorus] GG7 I couldn't believe it was true oh Lord CG I couldn't believe it was true G My eyes filled with tears I must have aged ten years GD7G I couldn't believe it was true
