Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[A][A][A][A]

[Verse 1]
[A]Last night, as I [D]got home
about a half past [A]ten
There was the woman I [D]thought I knew
In the arms of another [A]man
I kept my cool, I [D]ain't no fool
Let me tell ya what happened [A]then
I packed some clothes and [D]I walked out
And I ain't goin' back [A]again

[Chorus 1]
So, take a [A]letter, Maria, ad[G]dress it to my wife
[D]Say I won't be coming home,
gotta [A]start a new life
Oh, take a letter Maria, ad[G]dress it to my wife
Send a [D]copy to my lawyer,
gotta [A]start a new life

[Verse 2]
You've been [A]many things,
but [D]most of all a good secretary to [A]me
And it's times like this,
I [D]feel you've always been close to [A]me
Was I wrong to [D]work nights
to try to build a good [A]life
All work and [D]no play
has just cost me a [A]wife

[Chorus 2]
So, take a [A]letter, Maria, ad[G]dress it to my wife
[D]Say I won't be coming home,
gotta [A]start a new life
Oh, take a letter Maria, ad[G]dress it to my wife
Send a [D]copy to my lawyer,
gotta [A]start a new life

[Verse 3]
When a [A]man loves a [D]woman,
it's hard to [A]understand
That she would find more [D]pleasure
in the arms of another [A]man
I never really [D]noticed
how sweet you are to [A]me
It just so happens I'm [D]free tonight
Would you like to have dinner with [A]me?

[Chorus 3]
Well, take a [A]letter, Maria, ad[G]dress it to my wife
[D]Say I won't be coming home,
gotta [A]start a new life
Oh, take a letter, Maria, ad[G]dress it to my wife
Send a [D]copy to my lawyer,
gotta [A]start a new life
[Repeat and fade]
