Simple, country flavoured song from The Quo. From the album In The Army Now.
E B E E7
I got an invitation from a girl I used to know back home
A C#m F# B
It was an invitation asking me to telephone
E E7
She said, it's getting lonely here
A Am
And I've been gone for close a year
E B E
I took the first flight out to meet the girl I used to know back home
C#m, B E

B E B E E7
She met me off the flight, a million dollars in her long red gown
A C#m F# B
With a man in a black hat just to drive us back to town
E E7
Now the faces all look the same
A Am
And all the places have the same old names
E B A
But in a year you've changed just like the girl I used to know back home
E B E
Yes, in a year you've changed just like the girl I used to know back home
A B E
Maybe it's true that I go on and on and on
A B C#m
Maybe it's true that I'm the lonely one alone
A B
What can I say to you, what can I say to you?
E B E
Yes, in a year you've changed just like the girl I used to know back home
C#m, B E
C#m, B E

It took another year before I started getting itchy toes
And then I had to leave, but that's the way the story goes
Well I reckon if she'd made me stay
I'd never live to see another day
I took the first flight out and left the girl I used to know back home
Maybe it's true that I go on and on and on
Maybe it's true that I'm the lonely one alone
What can I say to you, what can I say to you?
I took the first flight out and left the girl I used to know back home
E C#m B E
Back home, I left the girl back home
C#m B E
I left the girl back home
C#m B E
I left the girl back home
C#m B E
I left the girl back home
C#m B E
I left the girl back home
