Intro: C* (strum and pause)
Then: C, E, Am, F

Intro/Chorus:
C
This is the story of a man

E E*
Who took for granted everything he had

Am
And how he let it all just slip away

F~
Never to return again

(Note that the E* is just a quick hammer-on on the 2nd fret of the G-string)

Verse I:
C
Now twenty years have come and gone

Am
And still he wonders what he did so wrong

F
And how that he can win back her heart

G
And finally step outside of the dark

C
He buys fresh roses every day

C/B Am
Her favorite flower so she used to say

F
And now the memories all that he has left

G
And I'm afraid he'll drink himself to death

Chorus:

C
This is the story of a man

E
Who took for granted everything he had

Am
And how he let it all just slip away

F
Never to return again

C E
Ooh

Am F~
Ooh

Verse II:

C
It's clear she's moved on long ago

Am
But he still clings on to a distant hope

F
That she’ll come and make a happy home

G
For now it's him and the bottle all alone

C
Sometimes you'll see him in the yard

C/B Am
A wounded man with a desperate heart

F
He keeps the hedges trimmed nice and neat

G
To keep them the way that the used to be

Chorus:

C
This is the story of a man

E
Who took for granted everything he had

Am
And how he let it all just slip away

F
Never to return again

C E
Ooh

Am F~
Ooh

Outro:
C
A single dress hangs on its own

Am
The scent of perfume all he has to hold

F
A wasted life waiting on a dream

G
Hoping for things the way they used to be

C
This is the story of a man

E
Who took for granted everything he had

Am
And how he let it all just slip away

F
Never to return again

End on: C*
