[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

[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

[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
