[Verse 1]
G
I came home this morning
C
I looked around
  D
I called out to my darling
C             G
    But not a sound

And there upon the table
                   C
By an old love magazine
                     G
Was a letter from my baby
      D              G
And a golden wedding ring

[Verse 2]
                        C
The table told a story  I can't forget
  D
A half a cup of coffee
      C               G
and a half smoked cigarette

I could see she'd waited
                C
hoping I'd come home
                        G
But some coffee and the cigarette
     D               G
Told me that she was gone

[Bridge]
D
I opened up the letter
    G        C            G
And read the tear-stained lines
   A7
My world for me was ending
D
Right before my eyes
    G
She said I set you free now
                    C
Go on and have your fling
                G
And all my baby left me
      D            G
Was a letter and a ring

[Outro]
G
  Oh oh oh oh
