Verse I
Am7Em7
Woke up this morning found a letter that she wrote
Dm7Dm7
She said she's tired that I'm always on the road
Am7Em7
To hard to swallow being alone
Dm7Dm7
She needs someone at night that she can hold
She must have told me a thousand times before
Dm7Dm7
Silent cries I use to ignore
Am7
God knows I love her
Em7Dm7
Didn't mean to hurt her, ooohh
Chorus
Am7
Baby I'll be
Em7Dm7
Sitting here waiting on you to come home again
Am7
I won't leave
Em7Dm7
Promise I'll be here to the very end
Am7
By your side
Em7Dm7
To protect you and to love you and to be with you for life
FC4BABm7Am7
Come on home to me Charlene
Verse II
Am7Em7
She knows I really love this old music thang
Dm7Dm7
Since I was a child it's been my dream
Am7Em7
I can support her treat her and spoil her
Dm7Dm7
You know buy her the finer things
Am7Em7
But I forgot about loving her
Dm7Dm7
Damn the money, diamonds and pearls
Am7Em7
What about the hard day she had with the baby
Dm7Dm7
All she need is for me to love her
Chorus
Am7
Baby I'll be
Em7Dm7
Sitting here waiting on you to come home again
Am7
I won't leave
Em7Dm7
Promise I'll be here to the very end
Am7
By your side
Em7Dm7
To protect you and to love you and to be with you for life
FC4BABm7Am7
Come on home to me Charlene
Bridge
Am7
Ooooh
A11
Promise I can't live without her
Am7
God knows I need her loving
A11F
And it hurts so bad that's she gone away
A11Dm7
I pray that she'll come back one day
F
In my life
Chorus
Am7
Baby I'll be
Em7Dm7
Sitting here waiting on you to come home again
Am7
I won't leave
Em7Dm7
Promise I'll be here to the very end
Am7
By your side
Em7Dm7
To protect you and to love you and to be with you for life
FC4BABm7Am7
Come on home to me Charlene
AmEm7
Oh oh oh
Dm7Am7
Sometimes I cry
Em7Dm7Am7
Charlene if you're listening would you call on me
Em7Dm7
Because my heart is aching
