"(Original in G)
It used to be I could call you my own
Now I see you want to be left on your own
You must have someone new to make me go through black nights
Oh, it used to be we could have so much fun
Just you and me, when our workin' days were done
Now when I come home you're tired or you're gone ? black nights
Oh, it used to be when you'd see my face you'd smile
And happily, you'd run to me like a child
Now you're in some kind of daze,
And man, you've changed your ways ? black nights
Instrumental Solo (12 bars)
Oh, it used to be when you'd see my face you'd smile
And happily, you'd run to me like a child
Now when I come home you're tired or you're gone ? black nights
Whoah, It used to be I said black nights I've never known
Now it's plain to see I'll have these blues from now on
Cause your love for me has left,
And you'll soon be gone yourself - black nights
