#1. 
D                                                                   A 
When the mailman came to our house this morning 
A7                                                       D  
I was waiting right there for him at the door. 
                  D7                                          G 
But when I opened up and read your last letter, 
G        A                                                 D 
Then I knew that I would wait for him no more. 

Chorus:  
D 
Cause you said, Dear One, there's something that I  
                  A 
have to tell you.  
A                                                                 D                                           
Dear One, there's something that I have to say, yay-yay. 
D                                                    A 
Dear One, he's tall, dark, and well, you know how it is. 
A                                                    D 
And Dear One, he stole my heart away. 

#2.  
D                        A 
Ah, please don't cry, (please don't cry .) 
                     D 
Try not to be sad (try not to be sad.) 
D               A 
I tried and I tried (I tried and I tried.) 
                        D 
Not to hurt you bad (not to hurt you bad.) 
D            G                                             D  
I tried so hard (I tried so hard) not to give in 

(not to give in.) 
D      A           
But I lost my head and I lost my heart and I lost 
                   D 
your love to him. 

Chorus:(x3)
