         G                                         C         G                                                    
    Dear Nellie since I left the city, I've found I've changed my mind, 
                                       C          D     G      
    I hope you won think me untruthful or do me the least unkind. 
        G                        C                  G 
    I think we're both mistaken, I know you'll never suit me, 
                               C          D           G 
    I owe my heart to another, of course kind friends will agree. 
           G                      C                            
    Please send me my ring and pictures, also my letters and books, 
                                      C       D           G                         
    my clothes, with many kind wishes, respectfully yours Charlie Brooks.

   I heard all about it, dear Charlie, I knew it would end this way, 
                                          C           D            G    
   I hope you will always live happy with your loving little wife, Miss Gray. 
       G                              C                G 
   Now here's your ring dear Charlie, don give it to her I pray, 
                                     C             D    G 
    unless you tell her 'twas once mine, I wore it one year today. 
        G                         C               G 
    One year today, dear Charlie, so happy were we both, 
                                      C             D          G        
    you vowed you'd never forsake me, but I find you untrue to your oath.

    G                                 C             G 
    Here's your picture dear Charlie, it's almost faded away, 
                                 C          D          G 
    because I kissed it so often and this you can tell Miss Gray. 
       G                             C                    G             
    As far as your letters dear Charlie, I burned them as they came, 
                                      C      D      G 
    I feared by reading them over would cause our love to inflame. 
           G                         C             G 
    I must say goodbye dear Charlie, my letter is near an end, 
                                C         D         G 
    remember I'm always and always forever and ever your friend.
