Intro: D 

verse 1 
                          G 
I've been travelling over mountains 
                           
Even through the valleys, too 
                               C 
I've been travelling night and day 
                          D 
I've been running all the way 
                       G 
Baby, trying to get to you 


verse 2 
                        
Ever since I read your letter 
                             
Where you said you loved me true 
                               C 
I've been travelling night and day 
                          D 
I've been running all the way 
                       G 
Baby, trying to get to you 


                        C 
When I read your loving letter 
                       G 
Then my heart began to sing 
                        C 
There were many miles between us 
                       D 
But they didn't mean a thing 


verse 3 
                         G 
I just had to reach you, baby 
                                
In spite of all that I've been through 
                            C 
I kept travelling night and day 
                       D 
I kept running all the way 
                       G 
Baby, trying to get to you

When I read your loving letter 
                       G 
Then my heart began to sing 
                        C 
There were many miles between us 
                       D 
But they didn't mean a thing 


verse 4 
                      G 
Lord above me knows I love you 
                          
It was he who brought me through 
                        C 
When my way was darkest night 
                             D 
He would shine his brightest light 
                            G  
When I was trying to get to you

                             D 
He would shine his brightest light
