[Em]
I've been out on the road a mighty long time.
[G] [A] Couldn't wait to [Am] get back [B] home to see [Em] that woman of mine.
But when [C] I finally got there, [B] I [A] found a letter instead.
I [Am] picked it up and read it.
[B] And this is what it said, [Am] dear son.
I'm [B]
[D] sorry, baby, [Em] I'm moving on.
[Am] Dear son, [B]
[G] I'm sorry, baby, I'm [Em] moving on.
[Am] Well, I hope that you understand.
[B] I found another man, [Em] dear son.
Try to figure out where she went.
I didn't have a clue.
She [Am] not only took her coffee [B] cup,
but she took her [Em] coffee too.
[A]
[Em] [G] [Am] The only thing that [C] she left behind [B] was written [Eb] by a pen.
[Am] I picked up that old sad [B] note and read those words [Am] again.
Dear son,
[B] I'm sorry, baby, I'm [Em] moving on.
[Am] Dear son,
[Bm] [B] I'm sorry, baby, I'm [Em] moving on.
[Am] Well, I hope that you understand [A] that I found [B] another man,
[Em] dear son.
