Verse #1: 

A             E7                    A 
Left alone to cry while he goes out singing 
A                 E7                       A 
And she don't see why a wedding bell ain't ringing

A               E7                         A 
Left alone to cry while he goes out rocking 
A                 E7                   A 
And she can't see why it ain't her he's socking

A                 E7                         A
