Tom: G

G                            C                     D7                G
You said you love me and me alone   and that you'd always be mine my own
                                 C             G        D7        G
But someone new came and you did not   care to remember so you forgot


[Chorus]
                            C                      D7                   G
Oh careless darlin' how carelessly   you broke the vow that you made to me
                                C                  G       D7         G
With all my heart I believed in you   but careless darlin' you were untrue


[Verse]
                               C                D7                      G
Your last goodbye will forever ring   within my ear and full heartaches bring
                            C                  G        D7            G
I kept my promise I kept my vow   but you kept nothin'  it's so plain now


[Chorus]
                            C                      D7                   G
Oh careless darlin' how carelessly   you broke the vow that you made to me
                                C                  G       D7         G
With all my heart I believed in you   but careless darlin' you were untrue


[Verse]
                             C                   D7                        G
Now if tomorrow those bygone years   those older memories should bring you tears
                                   C              G           D7       G
Think of our parting that luckless day   you carelessly threw my love away


[Chorus]
                            C                      D7                   G
Oh careless darlin' how carelessly   you broke the vow that you made to me
                                C                  G       D7         G
With all my heart I believed in you   but careless darlin' you were untrue
