D                  D7                 G             E
We stood there in the courthouse room so close but far apart
    A                 A7           D                A
You brought along the lawyer and I brought a broken heart
    D                    D7                G             E
The judge pronounced the words the way you wanted him to do
    A                                         A7                 D     D7
You changed your name from Brown to Jones and mine from Brown to Blue


  G                                   D                D7
I couldn't help my tears from falling on the courtroom floor
   G                                D           A  A7
My love, they took away my right to love you anymore
   D                    D7              G                 E
My world just seemed to stop as I stood there so close to you
    A                                         A7                 D     A
You changed your name from Brown to Jones and mine from Brown to Blue

    D               D7              G            E
The judge forgot to tell me how I'd live my life alone
     A              A7            D             A
What I would do without you after loving you so long
   D              D7            G                  E
He didn't seem to care that I'm still in love with you
    A                                     A7                     D    D7
You changed your name from Brown to Jones and mine from Brown to Blue

G                                     D                D7
I couldn't help my tears from falling on the courtroom floor
   G                                D        A    A7
My love, they took away my right to love you anymore
   D                    D7              G                 E
My world just seemed to stop as I stood there so close to you
    A                                         A7                 G  D
You changed your name from Brown to Jones and mine from Brown to Blue
