G
I've been away for just a year
D7
Have you forgotten me my dear
G C G
The judge said I must pay the cost
D7 G
I never knew how much I'd lost
[CHORUS]
C G
Until they sent me far away
D7
Where each minute seems a day
G C G
But maybe someday I'll be free
D7 G
Will you be waiting there for me
[VERSE 2]
I'm in this cell because of you
D7
The crime I did you drove me to
G C G
My jealous heart just could not stand
D7 G
To see you with another man
[CHORUS]
C G
Until they sent me far away
D7
Where each minute seems a day
G C G
But maybe someday I'll be free
D7 G
Will you be waiting there for me
[VERSE 3]
I hope someday that you will learn
D7
And brokenhearted you'll return
G C G
But listen darling please don't wait
D7 G
For maybe then will be too late
