Greaves 1969 A A D A Last night as I got home about a half past ten D There was the woman I thought I knew A In the arms of another man A D I kept my cool, I ain't no fool A Let me tell you what happened then D I packed some clothes and I walked out A And I ain't going back again A G So take a letter, Maria, address it to my wife D A Say I won't be coming home, gonna start a new life G Take a letter, Maria, address it to my wife D A Send a copy to my lawyer, I gotta start a new life A D A You've been many things but most of all a good secretary to me D A And it's times like this I feel you've always been close to me D A Was I wrong to work nights to try to build a good life D A All work and no play has just cost me a wife A G So take a letter, Maria, address it to my wife D A Say I won't be coming home, gonna start a new life G Take a letter, Maria, address it to my wife D A Send a copy to my lawyer, I gotta start a new life A D A When a man loves a woman it's hard to understand D A That she would find more pleasure in the arms of another man D A I never really noticed how sweet you are to me D A It just so happens I'm free tonight, would you like to have dinner with me? A G So take a letter, Maria, address it to my wife D A Say I won't be coming home, gonna start a new life G Take a letter, Maria, address it to my wife D A Send a copy to my lawyer, I gotta start a new life A G A Well, take a letter Maria, address it to my wife . . .
