   D                 G                    D
Oh does a guilty conscience make you rule the day
                               A
You let another take you from my side
    D               G                     D
Why'd you wed your new love, are you lying me
D                    A                D
Or does a guilty conscience hurt your pride

 G                                 D                     G             D
Does he take you to the same old places, does he kiss you like I used to do
                      G                 D              A            D
When you see the old familiar faces does a guilty conscience bother you

( steel - guitar )

   D                G                D
Have you kept my letters and my photograph
                                   A
Have they faded like the love we knew
       D              G                 D
When you read them over does your heart regret
                       A             D
And does a guilty conscience make you blue

      G                  D        G                D                   
When the day is done and night is falling, and you see that
     G           D
 big moon in the sky

                    G          D
When you lay your head upon your pillow does a guilty
       A           D
conscience make you cry
