Used To Be

Basically [D] - [A] - [G]

[D]I used to have a woman in my home
[A]Long long time ago
[A]And I still recall that gal
[D]Though she's been a long time gone
[G]She might have stayed
But what I had to [D]give
Was more like [G]love
[D]Now all I [A]have
Is a [G]used to be and ain't no [D]more

I used to have music in my home
Long long time ago
And I still recall that song
Though it's been a long time gone
I try to sing it yet
But it comes out in soughs and moans
And now all I have
Is a used to be and ain't no more

Well, there used to be [A]pictures upon the wall
And there [G]used to be [G7]kids runnin' [D]round in the hall
And there [A]used to be more than just one chair
Cause when [G]I had [G7]friends they would [D]visit me here

And there [G]used to be a cross made of gold
[D]Hanging on the mirror that [G]I since broke
[D]But now all I [A]have
Is a [G]used to be and ain't no [D]more

They used to bring mail to my home
Long long time ago
And I still recall those letters
Though they've been a long time gone
But how can they bring the mail
When the numbers on the house are gone
And now all I have
Is a used to be and ain't no more

I used to have a bible in my home
A long long time ago
And I still recall that book
Though it's been a long time gone
And it's been so long since I called the lord
I'm afraid he won't respond
And now all I have
Is a used to be and ain't no more
