E                            A
Last night I came home and I knocked at my door

   E                  E              B7
I called for my love as oft I had before

    E                           A
I called once again but no answer there came

    E                         B7              E
No sweet lips to greet me, no voice called my name
[chorus]
  E                        E               A                      E
I couldn't believe it was true oh Lord I couldn't believe it was true

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

  E            B7          E
I couldn't believe it was true

E                            A
I let myself in and I walked to our bed

  E                  E              B7
I found a note there and a message I read

    E                           A
The truth like a bolt from the blue in the dawn

    E                         B7              E
My sweetheart had left me, my darling was gone
[chorus]
  E                        E               A                      E
I couldn't believe it was true oh Lord I couldn't believe it was true

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

  E            B7          E
I couldn't believe it was true

E                            A
The shock was so great I am quivering yet

 E                  E              B7
I'll try to forgive her but I cannot forget

 E                           A
My heartbreaking loss is another mans gain

  E                         B7              E
Her happiness always I hope will remain
[chorus]
  E                        E               A                      E
I couldn't believe it was true oh Lord I couldn't believe it was true

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

  E            B7          E
I couldn't believe it was true
