Intro 1
(A major) (D major) (A major) (D major)
Verse 1
(D major) Oh come hear a story
a (G major) stranger just told me
Of (D major) a woman who meant everything (A major)
So proud (D major) he once honed her,
but (G major) he has her no longer,
for (D major) she wears another (A major) man's ring. (D major)
He talked of the good time
they (G major) had in the springtime,
before (D major) she was stolen away. (A major)
He blamed (D major) her, oh no none,
he (G major) said she was too young,
and (D major) that's why she (A major) wanted to (D major) stray.
We drank to her new love,
that (G major) it might be true love,
her (D major) future both happy and (A major) bright.
With his (D major) eyes growin' misty,
he (G major) drank down the whiskey
that was (D major) tellin' his (A major) story, that (D major) night.
And though he didn't even know me, (G major)
he told me all of his story.
(D major) And not one single word did
he say (A major) without pride.
And (D major) then he asked me if I blamed her. (G major)
But oh, when he named her, (D major)
I (A major) wanted to run out and (D major) hide.
How could I tell him,
the (G major) man that had dealt him
His (D major) sadness and sorrow was (A major) me.
I ran (D major) from the table
while (G major) I was still able
To (D major) hold back my (A major) own misery. (D major)
And now a wonder comes to me
(G major) That maybe he knew me
An (D major) d he told me, just so I'd (A major) cry
But (D major) without his knowing,
my (G major) teardrops were flowing
For (D major) she had just told (A major) me
good -bye (D major) you
