C
I came home this evenin' and found you were leavin'
      Bb          F       C
And I didn't know what to do
C
You packed all your things and gave me your ring
      Bb     F               C
Said, honey, I'm leavin' for good
C
I'll never know why you'd tell me good-bye
    Bb          F          C
And leave me so lonely and blue
C
For you should have no reason to go
     Bb            F           C
For, Darlin', I've always been true


[Chorus]
        Gm        F     C
Tell me why would you desert me
    Eb       Bb       C
The way your doin' tonight
          Gm  F     C
Why would you wanna hurt me
         Eb  Bb  Gm
Darlin', why say good-bye
        C
Tell me why


[Verse 2]
C
Our love had been strong cause I had held on
    Bb            F           C
And now my hearts breakin' in two
C
I thought you loved me but now I can see
  Bb    F                C
I never meant nothin' to you
C
I love you, my dear, and I can't stand to hear
          Bb              F          C
That your love words were just dirty lies
C
Now what did I do to make you untrue
    Bb            F              C
Oh, Darlin', just please tell me why


[Chorus]
        Gm        F     C
Tell me why would you desert me
    Eb       Bb       C
The way your doin' tonight
          Gm  F     C
Why would you wanna hurt me
         Eb  Bb  Gm
Darlin', why say good-bye
        C
Tell me why
