[Intro Cm to Eb - You'll have to play with this one as these two chords
are over 3 beats - difficult to indicate without using the grape-vine's
timing notation etc.]

[F]She knows what's been keepin' him out too [Eb]late [F]
She never was the kind to sit a[Eb]round and wait [Eb F Eb]
She loosened the [F]locket he gave [Eb]her
She took off her [F]wedding band
[Cm]And when he gets home he'll find
[F]All she's left behind is
[Bb]Silver and [F]gold [Cm]
Havn't they lost their [Eb F Bb]shine
Tonight she let [F]go[Eb] for the last time[F Bb]
[Bb]Just silver and [F]gold [Cm]
Ties that no longer [Eb F Bb]bind her
Now he's left a[F]lone with [Cm]silver and gold [Eb F]
[F]He could've kept her love so easi[Eb]ly [F]
It wasn't like she didn't try to [Eb]make him see [Eb F Eb]
But once she made [F]up her mind [Eb]
There was no [F]turnin' back [Cm]
And he's gonna understand[F]
When all he's holdin' in his hands [Bb]is
(CHORUS)
[Cm]And what once was sacred, [Eb]only yesterday [Fm]
They don't mean a thing as she [Ab]walks away [Bb] [Cm]... (Solo)
(CHORUS)
