E                            A
Last night I came home and I knocked at my door
   E                  E              B7
I called for my love as oft I had before
    E                           A
I called once again but no answer there came
    E                         B7              E
No sweet lips to greet me, no voice called my name
 
[chorus]
  E                        E               A                      E
I couldn't believe it was true oh Lord I couldn't believe it was true
   E                           E
My eyes filled with tears and I must have aged ten years
  E            B7          E
I couldn't believe it was true
 
E                            A
I let myself in and I walked to our bed
  E                  E              B7
I found a note there and a message I read
    E                           A
The truth like a bolt from the blue in the dawn
    E                         B7              E
My sweetheart had left me, my darling was gone
 
[chorus]
  E                        E               A                      E
I couldn't believe it was true oh Lord I couldn't believe it was true
   E                           E
My eyes filled with tears and I must have aged ten years
  E            B7          E
I couldn't believe it was true
 
E                            A
The shock was so great I am quivering yet
 E                  E              B7
I'll try to forgive her but I cannot forget
 E                           A
My heartbreaking loss is another mans gain
  E                         B7              E
Her happiness always I hope will remain
 
[chorus]
  E                        E               A                      E
I couldn't believe it was true oh Lord I couldn't believe it was true
   E                           E
My eyes filled with tears and I must have aged ten years
  E            B7          E
I couldn't believe it was true

The lyrics are pretty inaccurate. The third line should be "I knocked and I knocked but no answer there came." And the verse that begins "I let myself in and I walked to our bed" is not in the original song. From this I surmise the author is re-interpreting the song, and that should be indicated somewhere.
