Add column info from one file to larger second file

Hi, long time reader, first time poster.

I've done some searching so please if this is a repeated post excuse the duplicate, but what I have are two files roughly like so:

File 1:
Code:
A     W
B     X
C     Y
D     Z

File 2:
Code:
A     1
C     2
D     3

And what I would like to get out is something like:
Code:
A     1     W
B           X
C     2     Y
D     3     Z

Does anyone have a suggestion?
