The Box Tops
The Letter
Tabbed by K Martin
Written by Wayne Carson Thompson
[Verse 1]
Am F
Give me a ticket for an aeroplane
G D
Ain't got time to take a fast train
Am F
Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home
E Am
Cause my baby just wrote me a letter
[Verse 2]
Am F
I don't care how much money I gotta spend
G D
Got to get back to my baby again
Am F
Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home
E Am
My baby just wrote me a letter
[Chorus]
C G
Well she wrote me a letter
F C G
Said she couldn't live without me no more
C G
Listen mister can't you see
F C G
I got to get back to my baby once more
E
Anyway
[Repeat Verse 1]
[Repeat Chorus ]
[Repeat Verse 1]
E Am
Cause my baby just wrote me a letter
[Chorus 2]
It's the same as the first chorus, but moved up a half step and with no lyrics:
C# G#
F# C# G#
C# G#
F# C# G#
And then I like to end on F#.
Have fun.
