[VERSE]
[G7]Married him in April, lost him in Ju[C]ly
[F]Listen to my [G]story and I'll [C]tell you why
They [F]said that he'd been poaching and stealing wine
They [G]said I wouldn't see him for a long, l[G/A]ong t[G/B]ime

[CHORUS]
They [G]said he's [C]gone [F]to A[G]meri[C]ca
To [F]work the land that [G]some called Vir[C]gini[G]a
They said he's [C]gone [F]to A[G]merica

[VERSE]
[G7]Married him in April, lost him in Ju[C]ly
They [F]took him as their [G]prisoner, then [C]told me why
They [F]said they had sent him where poachers go
I [G]asked if I could see him, but they s[G/A]aid [G/B]no

[CHORUS]
They [G]said he's [C]gone [F]to A[G]meri[C]ca
To [F]work the land that [G]some called Vir[C]gini[G]a

[G7]Married him in April, lost him in Ju[C]ly

[VERSE]
[G7]Married him in April, lost him in Ju[C]ly
[F]Curse the men who [G]took him, curse their [C]wicked lies
The [F]night they saw him poaching and stealing wine
Was the [G]night that he took comfort in these arms [G/A]of [G/B]mine

[CHORUS]
But [G]now he's [C]gone [F]to A[G]meri[C]ca
To [F]work the land that [G]some called Vir[C]gini[G]a
They said he's [C]gone [F]to A[G]merica
[G7]Married him in April, lost him in Ju[C]ly
