     Recorded by:  Merle Haggard
     Transcribed off the Best of Merle Haggard CD.


     (C) Oh the love you promised would be mine
     (F) forever. I (C) would have bet my bottom
     dollar (G7) on.  Well it (C) sure turned out
     to be a short (F) forever.  Just (C) once I
     turned by (G7) back and you were (C) gone.

     CHORUS:  (C) From now on all my friends are
     gonna be (F) strangers.  I'm all (C) through
     ever trusting (G7) anyone.  The only (C) thing
     I can count on now is (F) my fingers.  I was
     a (C) fool believing in (G7) you and now you
     are (C) gone.

     (C) It amazes me not knowing any (F) better.
     Than to (C) think I had a love that would be
     (G7) true.  Well I (C) should be taken out
     and tarred and (F) feathered.  To (C) have
     let myself be (G7) taken in by (C) you.

     LAST:  (C) I was a fool believing in (G7) you
     and  now you are (C) gone.
