[Badd11] [Aadd9/E] [E]
[E]You called all the way from America[Aadd9/E]
Said "Hang onto love girl"[E]
But the we[Aadd9/E]eks and the months and the years[Badd11]
[E]Passed by...[Aadd9/E]
And my eyes couldn't stand [E]the strain
Of [Aadd9/E]that promised love[Badd11]
[E]All the way from America[Aadd9/E] [E] [Aadd9/E]
[E]All the way from America[Aadd9/E] [E] [Aadd9/E]

Said I'll soon be home girl[E]
And [Aadd9/E]years and the tears and the fe[Badd11]ars,
