I Couldnt Believe It Was True

E                            A
Last night I came home and I knocked
 at my door
   E                  E           
I called for my love as oft I had 
   B7
before
    E                           A
I called once again but no answer 
there came
    E                         B7  
No sweet lips to greet me, no 
            E
voice called my name

[chorus]
  E                        E      
I couldn't believe it was true oh 
         A                      E
Lord I couldn't believe it was true
   E                           E
My eyes filled with tears and I must
 have aged ten years
  E            B7          E
I couldn't believe it was true

E                            A
I let myself in and I walked to our 
bed
  E                  E            
I found a note there and a message
  B7
 I read
    E                           A
The truth like a bolt from the blue 
in the dawn
    E                        
My sweetheart had left me, my 
 B7              E
darling was gone

[chorus]
  E                        E      
I couldn't believe it was true oh 
         A                      E
Lord I couldn't believe it was true
   E                           E
My eyes filled with tears and I must
 have aged ten years
  E            B7          E
I couldn't believe it was true

E                         
The shock was so great I am 
   A
quivering yet
 E                  E              
I'll try to forgive her but I 
B7
cannot forget
 E                           A
My heartbreaking loss is another 
mans gain
  E                         B7 
Her happiness always I hope will 
             E
remain

[chorus]
  E                        E      
I couldn't believe it was true oh 
         A                      E
Lord I couldn't believe it was true
   E                           E
My eyes filled with tears and I must
 have aged ten years
  E            B7          E
I couldn't believe it was true
