INTRO: G

I had plenty of keys on my key ring
                             D
A beautiful home, I had everything
              C                 G
With a loving wife and a car to drive
                     D             G
I came home from work every day at five


 
And one by one I started losing them keys
                                 D
My darling wife, I just couldn't please
            C                G
My boss got on my nerves one day
             D          G
I knew that I was on my way
 


CHORUS:
          C               G
I lost my wife, I lost my home
        D                G
Quit my job and set out alone
              C             G
With just one key on my key chain
          D               G
I'm gonna start all over again


 
She finally decided, we just couldn't be
                                  D
She wanted things I just couldn't see
               C                 G
She said, "I'm tired of waiting around"
                 D             G
She took the last train out of town

 
CHORUS:
          C               G
I lost my wife, I lost my home
        D                G
Quit my job and set out alone
              C             G
With just one key on my key chain
          D               G
I'm gonna start all over again


INSTRUMENTAL: G     D   C    G   D  G



Well the bankers came and took the key to my home
                                  D
Just one key left from all I ever owned
                 C                    G
I'm turning that key, letting out the clutch
                D               G
I never did like this town that much


CHORUS:
          C               G
I lost my wife, I lost my home
        D                G
Quit my job and set out alone
              C             G
With just one key on my key chain
          D               G
I'm gonna start all over again
