C               F            C
In the papers I saw you this morning
         G7                             C
You were lovely dressed in your wedding gown
                      F       C
And it said you would marry a stranger to me
         D7                        G7
That had drifted into our old home town

    C            F           C
Accidentally you met him one evening
        G7                       C
And you say it was love at first sight
    F                          C
Accidentally on purpose you're marrying
    G7                      C
Accidentally on purpose for spite

    F                           C
For you say that you saw me out painting the town
     D7                         G7
That I was just a fool with the heart of a clown
    C        F        C
Accidentally you were mistaken that night
    G7                      C
Accidentally on purpose for spite
