From the album Elementary Doctor Watson (available on Spotify) [Introduction] G C G G D7 G G7 C G G D7 G [Verse 1]
     G                       C             G
Last night I came home and I knocked at my door

      G                                 D7
And I called for my love as I oft had before

  G             G7         C            G
I called once again but no answer there came

   G                         D7            G
No sweet lips to greet me no voice call my name
[Chorus]
  G                                  G7
I couldn't believe it was true oh Lord

  C                       G
I couldn't believe it was true

   G
My eyes filled with tears and I must have aged ten years

  G          D7           G
I couldn't believe it was true
[Instrumental] G G7 C G G D7 G G7 C G G D7 G [Verse 2]
  G                   C             G
I let myself in and I walked to our bed

  G                                    D7
I found a note there and the message I read

    G            G7            C           G
The truth like a bolt from the blue then begone

   G                         D7          G
My sweetheart had left me my darling was gone
[Chorus]
  G                                  G7
I couldn't believe it was true oh Lord

  C                       G
I couldn't believe it was true

   G
My eyes filled with tears and I must have aged ten years

  G          D7           G
I couldn't believe it was true
[Instrumental] G G7 C G G D7 G G7 C G G D7 G [Verse 3]
    G                       C         G
The shock was so great I am quivering yet

     G                                 D7
I'll try to forgive her but I cannot forget

   G             G7        C           G
My heartbreaking loss is another man's gain

   G                      D7       G
Her happiness I hope will always remain
[Chorus]
  G                                  G7
I couldn't believe it was true oh Lord

  C                       G
I couldn't believe it was true

   G
My eyes filled with tears and I must have aged ten years

  G          D7           G
I couldn't believe it was true
