  			A               D                          A 
Last night as I got home about a half past ten 
                      D 
There was the woman I thought I knew 
                       A 
In the arms of another man 
                  D  
I kept my cool, I ain't no fool 
                              A 
Let me tell you what happened then 
                          D 
I packed some clothes and I walked out 
                        A 
And I ain't going back again 
_                             G  
C  So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife 
H  D                                  A 
O  Say I won't be coming home, gonna start a new life. 
R                            G 
U  So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife 
S  D                                 A 
_  Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta start a new life. 
                            D 
You've been many things but most of all 
                    A 
A good secretary to me 
                         D 
And it's times like this I feel 
                            A 
You've always been close to me 
                D 
Was I wrong to work nights  
                        A          
To try to build a good life 
                D 
All work and no play has just cost me a wife. 

       A           D                        A 
When a man loves a woman it's hard to understand 
                          D 
That she would find more pleasure  
                       A 
In the arms of another man 
               D                            A 
I never really noticed how sweet you are to me 
                       D 
It just so happens I'm free tonight 
                                   A 
Would you like to have dinner with me? 

(Chorus)
