Been Gone Chords by Frank Foster

[F#] _ _ _ _ _ Well, they married early like [B] _ young lovers [F#] do.
_ _ _ He worked two jobs and put her through [C#] school. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ He gave his last dollar, _ _ [B] _ she got her [F#] degree.
_ _ _ And after all he sacrificed, she [C#] still had the nerve [F#] to leave. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] Now there's a quarter [F#] moon in [C#] a ten _ [F#] cent town. _ _
[B] _ And she's moving [F#] up and [C#] he's going _ down. _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ And she's on [F#] the high [D#m] road [C#] _ and he's [F#] alone.
_ [B] _
_ And he's been [C#] drinking and she's been [F#] gone.
She _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ left her heart open _ [B] and got swept off of [F#] her feet. _
By a man with all the finer things and a lot of [C#] money. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] She broke the news and broke his heart _
[B] and loaded up [F#] her car. _ _
She headed off to Dallas _ [C#] and he headed off to [F#] the bar. _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] Now there's a [F#] quarter moon _ [C#] in a ten _ _ [F#] cent town.
_ _ [B] _ And she's [F#] moving up and he's [C#] going down. _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ She's on [F#] the high road _ [C#] _ and [F#] he's alone.
_ _ [B] _ And he's [C#] been drinking and she's [F#] been gone. _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] You know sometimes [F#] when a heart gets broke, [C#] _ with a little [F#] time it can heal.
[B] _ Oh, but when the [C#] scars are a little too deep, _ [F#] _ sometimes a broken heart can kill.
He had whiskey on his last breath.
[B] All them years were just [F#] too hard.
_ His last words were bury me out in the [C#] backyard. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ And time also found her [B] _ regretting what [F#] she'd done.
_ And she thought of him and her old life.
_ [C#] _ She headed back [F#] home. _ _ _ _ _
[G#] _ _ [B] _ Now it's a quarter [F#] till noon _ in a [C#] ten _ _ [F#] cent town.
_ _ _ [B] _ _
And she [F#] pulls up as they lower him [C#]
down. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ And she cries [F#] oh no.
_ _ [C#] _ When she sees the [F#] headstone.
_ _ _ [B] _ _ Now she's been [C#] drinking and he's been gone.
