Simple, country flavoured song from The Quo. From the album In The Army Now.
EBEE7
I got an invitation from a girl I used to know back home
AC#mF#B
It was an invitation asking me to telephone
EE7
She said, it's getting lonely here
AAm
And I've been gone for close a year
EBE
I took the first flight out to meet the girl I used to know back home
C#m, B E
C#mBEBEE7
She met me off the flight, a million dollars in her long red gown
AC#mF#B
With a man in a black hat just to drive us back to town
EE7
Now the faces all look the same
AAm
And all the places have the same old names
EBA
But in a year you've changed just like the girl I used to know back home
EBE
Yes, in a year you've changed just like the girl I used to know back home
ABE
Maybe it's true that I go on and on and on
ABC#m
Maybe it's true that I'm the lonely one alone
AB
What can I say to you, what can I say to you?
EBE
Yes, in a year you've changed just like the girl I used to know back home
C#m, B E
C#m, B E
C#m, B E
C#m, B A B
It took another year before I started getting itchy toes
And then I had to leave, but that's the way the story goes
Well I reckon if she'd made me stay
I'd never live to see another day
I took the first flight out and left the girl I used to know back home
Maybe it's true that I go on and on and on
Maybe it's true that I'm the lonely one alone
What can I say to you, what can I say to you?
I took the first flight out and left the girl I used to know back home
EC#mBE
Back home, I left the girl back home
C#mBE
I left the girl back home
C#mBE
I left the girl back home
C#mBE
I left the girl back home
C#mBE
I left the girl back home
