[Eb] [Bb]
[F] [Bb]
He was never [Eb] there [Bb] when needed, [Eb] And oh, how much she pleaded,
[Bb] Saying, Darling, [Eb] [Bb] won't you stay home just [F] one time?
[Dm]
[Bb] He just smiled [Eb] and said, [Bb] I'm sorry, [Eb] But there's no need to worry,
[Bb] Going to meet [Eb] some [Bb] army buddies, [F] Drink some beer and fight [Bb] the war.
In the kitchen making wishes, [Eb] As she tidies up the dishes,
[Bb] On another [Eb] [Bb] lonely weekend, And the wine she drank [F] alone,
And [Bb] the nights [Eb] they hold [Bb] no pity, [Eb] In the cold of New York City,
[Bb] While she [Eb] waits there in [Bb] the darkness, To [F] hear his key turning the [Bb] door.
Then one day [Eb] he came [Bb] home sober, [Eb] With a longing just to hold her,
[Bb] When he found [Eb] a note [Bb] she'd written, Waiting by the [F] telephone,
[Bb] And she said, [Eb] I'll [Bb] always love you, [Eb] And I never will forget you,
[Bb] But I just [Eb] can't [Bb] take this lonely, [F] Sad feeling [Bb] anymore.
She [F] said, I'm going to California, To [Eb] taste the sunshine and the [Bb] wine,
Sit [Eb] beside the rolling [Bb] ocean, And slowly pass the [F] time,
[Bb] Reading books [Eb] and all [Bb] of stories, [Eb] And forget about my worries,
[Bb] And maybe, [Eb] who [Bb] knows, maybe, [F] We'll meet again [Bb] sometime.
[Eb]
[Bb] [F]
[Bb] Now the nights [Eb] are long [Bb] and lonely, [Eb] As he sits and watches TV,
[Bb] Drinking beer [Eb] and [Bb] chasing whiskey, Wondering where it all [F] went wrong,
And [Bb] his eyes [Eb] are tired [Bb] and burning, From [Eb] the dreams that keep returning,
[Bb] And [Eb] all his [Bb] yesterdays, [F] They won't leave him [Bb] alone.
