Track 5 of 12 on the album "The Daddy Of 'Em All" (1957) [Intro] C D7 G7 C [Verse]
     C                C7              F              C
I'm alone with all my sorrow, it's so hard to face tomorrow

         C                  D7            G7
'cause I knocked and no one met me at the door

       C                   C7                F                C
I have asked the next door neighbor what you packed and went away for

         C            D7         G7      C    C7
But they only say you don't live here no more
[Chorus]
       F                                 C
When I sailed across the blue, I thought I could count on you

         D7                                      G7
But I've come back home, sweetheart, to find you gone

       C                  C7              F              C
It's a shame you couldn't be here, what a sorry sight to see here

       C                  D7      G7   C
When a soldier knocks and finds nobody home
[Guitar Solo] C C7 F C C D7 G7 C C7 [Chorus]
       F                                 C
When I sailed across the blue, I thought I could count on you

         D7                                      G7
But I've come back home, sweetheart, to find you gone

       C                  C7              F              C
It's a shame you couldn't be here, what a sorry sight to see here

       C                  D7      G7   C
When a soldier knocks and finds nobody home
