[Verse 1]

       C
Well I said my baby was a doing me wrong

                        G
So I packed my bags and left her,

  C
I told her a lie cause I'm going back home

      C                                       G5*  C   (C \ G)
Just, tell my baby I love her, tell my baby I love her

[Chorus]

         G                      C
Well the nights were long and I felt so bad

   G                 C
My heart was sad and heavy,

    C/G                   C
I'm going back home where I belong,

       C                                       G*   C
Justa, tell my baby I love her, tell my baby I love her

[Verse 2]

           C
I've beena walking this road since late last night

                            G
And the weather is cold and dreary

    C
But thought of my baby's warm red lips

                            G5               C       (C \ G)
Keeps me warm and cherry, because I love her dearly

[Chorus]

         G                      C
Well the nights were long and I felt so bad

   G                 C
My heart was sad and heavy,

    C/G                   C
I'm going back home where I belong,

       C                                       G*   C
Justa, tell my baby I love her, tell my baby I love her

[Verse 3]

         C
Well I'm almost home and I see her standing there

                   G
Away then from the window

        C/G                       C
But the smile on her face and the tear in her eye

  C                                                 G5*   C
I hope my baby still loves me, I hope my baby still loves me

[Outro]

         G                      C
Well the nights were long and I felt so bad

   G                 C
My heart was sad and heavy,

    C/G                   C
I'm going back home where I belong,

       C                                       G*   C   (C)  C*
Justa, tell my baby I love her, tell my baby I love her
