[Verse 1]
     G                       C    
Last night I came home and I 
         G
knocked at my door
      G                          
And I called for my love as I oft 
       D7
had before
  G             G7         C     
I called once again but no answer
       G
 there came
   G                         D7   
No sweet lips to greet me no voice
         G
 call my name

[Chorus]
  G                              
I couldn't believe it was true oh 
    G7
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

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
  G                   C           
I let myself in and I walked to 
  G
our bed
  G                                
I found a note there and the 
    D7
message I read
    G            G7            C 
The truth like a bolt from the 
          G
blue then begone
   G                         D7   
My sweetheart had left me my 
       G
darling was gone

[Chorus]
  G                              
I couldn't believe it was true oh 
    G7
Lord
  C                       G
I couldn't believe it was true
   G
My eyes filled with tears and I must
 have aged ten years

I couldn't believe it was true

[Verse 3]
    G                      
The shock was so great I am 
 C         G
quivering yet
     G                             
I'll try to forgive her but I 
    D7
cannot forget
   G             G7        C     
My heartbreaking loss is another 
      G
man's gain
   G                      D7   
Her happiness I hope will always 
    G
remain

[Chorus]
  G                              
I couldn't believe it was true oh 
    G7
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
