E                     B          E             
I watched the sun come up today  
                          B              E       
The wind swept all the clouds away  
  A                               E  
 Sky did turn from grey to blue  
B                                    E  
As my thoughts did turn to you  
                             B                    E  
The Birds sang songs we used to sing  
             B            E               
Memories of you to bring  
A                                     E                       
Soft and sweet and clear and high  
B                                     E                           
The day is slowly passing by  

A                            E                           
Tonight Ill be alone and blue  
A                                       E                     
With empty arms that long for you  
A                                    E                     
I only hear the lonesome sound  
 B                                E                             
Since you left our little town  

(Reprise) E-B-E-A-E-B-E-A-E-B-E  

E                  B                   E              
I don't know why you went away  
                      B               E              
And nothing's all you had to say  
A                                                   E                  
Not a word comes through here about you  
B                                           E             
And soon my heart will break in two  

A                             E                 
Tonight I be alone and blue  
A                                       E              
With empty arms that long for you  
A                                  E               
I only hear the lonesome sound  
B                                E              
Since you left our little town  
B                                E             
Since you left our little town
