                A7                  D
         If he knew the truth he'd hurt
                     Ddim             A
         'Cause his girl's become a flirt

         'Round the town they say  toy

 [repeat chorus]

 Verse 2:

         Oh how he dreams of his return
         And the coming home he earned

         There's a new face in his place
         She ain't waiting for you

 [repeat chorus]
