Verse 
C                           F 
Your letter came, this very day 
             C              G7 
And it wiped all, my dreams away 
             C                F 
I've read it o'er, a thousand times 
            C     G7 C 
Its left me with, a worried mind 


C                      F 
I wonder why, you said goodby 
            C                G7 
and did you mean, to make me cry 
        C                F 
I guess until, the day I die 
            C      G7 C 
that I will still, be wondering why. 

Verse 
C                                F 
I dread the thought, that we are through 
                C               G7 
and that you've found, somebody new 
           C             F 
I love you now, I always will 
           C    G7  C 
I'd rather die, tha say farewell 


C                          F 
I hope and pray, before my time 
                 C                    G7 
that you'll come back, and say you're mine 
               C              F 
bring back the love, you took away 
             C      G7  C 
and ment the heart, you broke today
