[Verse 1]
               D         D7                 G
My clothes are all ragged my goodwill coat's not the best
G                     D                           A
 And I'm a walking on cardboard in my last dollar dress
           D          D7              G
I looked in the closet for my wedding gown
                    D      A              D
But the box that it came in was all that I found

[Verse 2]
D7           G                          D
He took everything with him that wasn't nailed down
                   D                             A
Bet he's got a new sweetheart to fill my wedding gown
             D             D7              G
But somewhere I'll find him then I'll have peace of mind
G                     D      A           D           G
 And the box he comes home in will be all satin lined

He took everything with him that wasn't nailed down
                   D                             A
Bet he's got a new sweetheart to fill my wedding gown
             D             D7              G
But somewhere I'll find him then I'll have peace of mind
G                     D      A           D           D A D
 And the box he comes home in will be all satin lined
