A5 E5 A/         A5 
(1st Verse)  Well I made my plans to leave you far behind 
    E5                       D5              A5 
To put you in my past, and get you off my mind.  
 
So I took your mem'ry, on a midnight ride. 
        E5                                              A5 (STOP) 
Down a dark an lonely back road, and left it there to die. 
                                     A5    D5                 A5 
(Chorus)  But look what followed me home, I thought I was alone. 
                                     E5 
But your memory, it's comin' back to me 
                         A5     D5                  A5 
I thought I'd left it behind, and got you off my mind. 
                               E5                            A5 
But I see I was wrong, wrong, wrong, look what followed me home.

(2nd Verse)  Well, I walked down to the river, at the break of dawn, 
        E5                          D5             A5 
With a picture of you darlin', up underneath my arm. 
 
I said the heartache's over, today is your last day, 
       E5                                            A5 
And I thanked that muddy river, as it carried you away. 
 
(Chorus) 
D5                     A5             E5 (STOP)                      A5 
  Yeah!  I see I was wrong, wrong, wrong.  Look what followed me home.
