verse intro once thru

(verse)
D                 ΚΚΚΚΚF#7 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚB
You were my baby and I loved you a lot
but now you're gone and now I'm not
 ΚΚΚE7 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚA7 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚD | | A | | D | | A | |
the sad and lonely boy that I once was

Two long years was our love affair
but now you're gone and I don't care
I must admit baby, I'm a happier boy

(chorus)
B7               E7 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚF7 ΚΚΚΚΚΚE7
Yes I loved you I thought the world of you
A7 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚ  ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚD | | A | | D | | A | |
you were the gleam the shine in my eye

B7               E7 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚF7 ΚΚΚΚΚΚE7
But you left me and now I can clearly see
A7                       ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚD | | A | | D | | A | |
I'm much better off now so why don't you die

 play verse chords

(chorus)

Three long years was our love affair
but now you're finally out of my hair
I must admit baby I'm a happier boy

1---2---3---4
verse chords - faster each time
--


so the pattern is:

verse - instrumental
verse - sung
verse - sung

chorus - sung

verse - instrumental 
verse - instrumental 

chorus - sung

verse - sung

---
verse - fast
verse - faster
verse - fastest
