G                           C
All My Bags Are Packed, I'm Ready To Go.

I'm Standing Here Out-Side Your Door

I Hate To Wake You Up To Say Good-Bye.

But The Dawn Is Breaking, It's Early Morn,

The Taxi's Waiting, He's Blowing His Horn
   G            Em               Am      D
Al-Ready I'm So Lonesome I Could Die.

Tell Me That You'll Wait For Me

Oh Babe I Hate To Go

There's So Many Times I've Let You Down
 G                           C
  So Many Times I've Played Around
  G            Em             Am         D
I Tell You Now They Don't Mean A Thing
 G                           C
Every Place I Go I'll Think Of You

Every Song I Sing I'll Sing For You

When I Come Back I'll Bring Your Wedding Ring.

      Now The Time Has Come To Leave You
G                 C
One More Time Let Me Kiss You
G        Em           Am             D
Then Close Your Eyes I'll Be On My Way
