Sleep came tossed and turning

And I woke up phone in hand

Carolay,   her lovin' should've been burning for another man

Well I'm going to call up China
   G   D  C   G  C
And see if she is there

Well if she's not down in China

[Slow Section]

Fare thee, honey
         Am
There is not enough of time
      C         D          G
For a right shy woman to belong
G
Fare thee, honey
           Am
There's no slow and easy rhyme
      C         D          G
For a right shy woman gone wrong

There's a letter came last Tuesday
  G     D    C  G   C
Arrived here nation sack
     G  D  C  G   C
It's lying in the hallway
    G   D     C  G   C
But you ain't coming back
