[Verse 1]
[G]Last night as I [C]got home

There was the woman I thought [C]I knew
In the arms of another [G]man

Let me tell you what
happened [G]then
I packed some clothes and I [C]walked out
And I ain't going back [G]again

So take a [G]letter Maria,

Send [C]a copy to my lawyer,
gotta [G]start a new life

[Verse 3]
You've been [G]many things but [C]most of
all a good secretary to [G]me
And it's times like this I [C]feel you've

All work and no [C]play has just
cost me a [G]wife

hard to under[G]stand
That she would find more pleas
[C]ure in the arms of another [G]man

It just so happens I'm [C]free tonight
Would you like to have dinner with [G]me
