[Verse 1]
E         A       E
I’m going away to stay awhile
E       A       B7      E
Just to ease my worried mind
E         A         E
You never cared for me my love
E              B7  E
So I’m leaving you behind


[Chorus]
E    A                E
It’s been this way so long my dear
E   A         E
Why can’t you understand
E    A                   E
Your selfish heart broke up our home
E    B7          E
Just for another man

[Verse 2]
E A                E
I tried to live my life alone
E   A                    E
All through these lonely years
E A                 E
I keep your picture here with me
E                 B7     E
Just to dry these bitter tears


[Chorus]
E    A                E
It’s been this way so long my dear
E   A         E
Why can’t you understand
E    A                   E
Your selfish heart broke up our home
E        B7      E  E
Just for another man
