Verse 1
C           F           C      C 
I came home kind of unexpected 
D                           G 
 Wanted to surprise my baby   so I didn't phone 
F                          C     C 
 I heard laughter and soft music 
D                   D7      G 
 As I walked up the pathway   to our front door 
 
Chorus
      F                       C 
I saw  curtains on the windows  shadows on the curtains 
G                     F    C 
 Have I been away too long 
 
Verse 2
           F           C            C 
At first I couldn't believe my eyes 
D                  G 
 I told myself why   it's just an old old friend 
F                               C        C 
 I'll bet they're waiting to surprise me 
D7                    G 
 But wait no one knew   that I was coming in 
 
Chorus
            F                        C 
Now there's  curtains on the windows   shadows on the curtains 
G                 F     C 
 Has my baby gone wrong 
 
Verse 3
             F         C        C 
I walked downtown to a pawnshop 
D7                            G 
 Funny what you can buy there  for just a dollar or two 
F                       C       C 
 Now I'm walking up our pathway 
D                D7 G 
 And heaven help me   for what I may do 
 
Chorus
        F                        C                          C 
To those  curtains on the windows  shadows on the curtains 
G                     F    C 
 Have I been away too long 
           F                        C 
There were  curtains on the windows   shadows on the curtains 
G7                F     F  C  C 
 Has my baby gone wrong
