[Verse]
Am G
Woke up this morning found a letter that she wrote
F
She said she's tired that I'm always on the road
Am G
Too hard to swallow being alone
F
She needs someone at night that she can hold
Am G
She must have told me a thousand times before
F
Silent cries I use to ignore
Am
God knows I love her
G F
Didn't mean to hurt her
[Chorus]
Am
Baby I'll be
G F
Sitting here waiting on you to come home again
Am
I won't leave
G F
Promise I'll be here to the very end
Am
By your side
G F
To protect you and to love you and to be with you for life
Am G F
Come on home to me Charlene
[Verse]
Am G
She knows I really love this old music thing
F
Since I was a child it's been my dream
Am G
I can support her treat her and spoil her
F
You know buy her the finer things
Am G
But I forgot about loving her
F
Damn the money, diamonds and pearls
Am G
What about the hard day she had with the baby
F
All she need is for me to love her
[Chorus]
Am
Baby I'll be
G F
Sitting here waiting on you to come home again
Am
I won't leave
G F
Promise I'll be here to the very end
Am
By your side
G F
To protect you and to love you and to be with you for life
Am G F
Come on home to me Charlene
[Bridge]
F
Promise I can't live without her
G
God knows I need her loving
F
And it hurts so bad that's she gone
G F
I pray that she'll come back one day
G
In my life
[Chorus]
Am
Baby I'll be
G F
Sitting here waiting on you to come home again
Am
I won't leave
G F
Promise I'll be here to the very end
Am
By your side
G F
To protect you and to love you and to be with you for life
Am G F
Come on home to me Charlene
[Outro]
Am G
Oh oh oh
F Am
Sometimes I cry
G F Am
Charlene if you're listening would you call on me
G F
Because my heart is aching
