Tom: A A E You let a little bitty woman go and tear you all a part A I warned you a thousand times D But, you wouldn't listen, paid me no mind A E A You poor, broke, mixed up mess of a heart A I watched her buy his ticket D In Charlotte, North Carolina A E I heard her say, "One way, please, to Denver" A She's gone to meet that other guy D It won't do us no good to cry A E A 'Cause she's wearin' his ring on her finger A I watched her tip the porter D As she stepped aboard that midnight train A E Bound to take her far away for ever A I watched the taillight fade away D Knowin' she was gone to stay A E A I wish this broken heart was leavin' with her
