A               D                
Last night as I got home about a 
          A
half past ten
                      D
There was the woman I thought I knew
                       A
In the arms of another man

  A               D
I kept my cool, I ain't no fool
                              A
Let me tell you what happened then
                          D
I packed some clothes and I walked 
out
                  A
And I ain't going back again

   A                       G
So take a letter, Maria, address it 
to my wife
D                                 
Say I won't be coming home, gonna 
            A
start a new life

in the arms of another man
               D
