D           G     D                A     Asus  
Who's gonna tell Maria he won't be home

Who's gonna tell Maria she's now alone
D            G        D              A    Asus  
Tell her the life he wanted took him away

Tell her there's no use living for yesterday

It had to end this way

Who's gonna tell Maria he won't return
A                                    D     Dsus
Who's gonna tell Maria that love can burn
D             G       D                  A    Asus  
Tell her that love so simple could never be
A                                           D     Dsus  
Tell her that she was looking but could not see

Tell them they lost a man they never won

Who's gonna tell Maria he won't be home
B7                                  E
he was the kind of man no-one could own
