Verse 1

                          C              G
Lost like a grain of sand upon the sands of time
                                               D
Trusting and believing in a love I thought was mine
       G                   C            G
Tossed just like a ship by the waves of a storm
                          D              G
To find the way home, but to-morrow I’ll be gone

Chorus

        C                       G
I’ll be  gone when your blinded eyes open wide to see
                                                  D
You’re a loser in this game of love you played so carelessly
    G                                    C         G
You thought your new love faithful, like a bird it has flown
                               D             G
And now you’re left alone, and tomorrow I’ll be gone.

Chorus

                                  C         G
Gone like the leaves in the fall, to return no more
                                          D
That is how she left you, like the others before
         G         C         G
Hopeless love have I, now it has torn
                               D             G
My heart in little pieces, and tomorrow I’ll be gone.
