[G] [D] [A]
[D]
My clothes are all ragged, my goodwill [G] coat's not the best,
and I'm walking [D] on cardboard in my last [A] dollar dress.
I looked in [D] the closet for [G] my wedding gown,
but the box [D] that it came [A] in was all [D] that I'd found.
[Am]
He took [Bm] [G] everything with him that [D] wasn't nailed down.
Bet he's got a new sweetheart to fill my [A] wedding gown.
But [D] somewhere I'll find him, then I'll have [G] peace of mind,
and the box he [D] comes home [A] in will be all [D] satin-lined.
