Basically D5 - A5 - G5


D5
I used to have a woman in my home
A5
Long long time ago
A5
And I still recall that gal
D5
Though she's been a long time gone
G5
She might have stayed
                  D5
But what I had to give
              G5 
Was more like love
D5         A5
Now all I have
     G5                       D5
Is a used to be and ain't no more

I used to have music in my home
Long long time ago
And I still recall that song
Though it's been a long time gone
I try to sing it yet
But it comes out in soughs and moans
And now all I have
Is a used to be and ain't no more

                       A5
Well, there used to be pictures upon the wall
          G5          G5           D5
And there used to be kids runnin' round in the hall
          A5
And there used to be more than just one chair
           G5     G5                 D5  
Cause when I had friends they would visit me here

          G5                              
And there used to be a cross made of gold
D5                          G5
Hanging on the mirror that I since broke
D5             A5 
But now all I have
     G5                       D5      
Is a used to be and ain't no more

They used to bring mail to my home
Long long time ago
And I still recall those letters
Though they've been a long time gone
But how can they bring the mail
When the numbers on the house are gone
And now all I have
Is a used to be and ain't no more

I used to have a bible in my home
A long long time ago
And I still recall that book
Though it's been a long time gone
And it's been so long since I called the lord
I'm afraid he won't respond
And now all I have
Is a used to be and ain't no more
