Verse 1
G 
My lonely
D 
G 
heart was gladdened
D 
C 
when I  heard the postman's ring
D 
Life lost its meaning
G 
when you went away
He little knew the heartache
C 
nor the suffering he would bring
D 
He smiled and said,
G 
you've got some mail today
I quickly broke the seal
C 
so hungry for your words of love
D 
Hoping that you'd say
G 
you missed me too
And then it seemed
C 
the sky fell down on me
from up above
D 
When you said you'd found somebody
G

D 
G 
D 
G 
D 
G 
Now I am standing by
C 
a river deep and wide
D 
G 
Hoping what I'm doing isn't wrong
Why should the body linger
C 
when the heart has died?
D 
G 
How could a robin live without his song?
I guess that I'm not brave enough
C 
to face the lonely year
D 
G 
Just a life of shame and misery
Tomorrow you will blush with shame
C 
and shed a few false tears
D 
G 
Then you'll say what is to be will be
C 
G 
I can't blame you for what happened
D 
A 
D 
I pray that God above will understand
G 
Sometime tomorrow they
C 
will find my lifeless form
D 
with your fatal letter in my hand.
G
