Dear Nellie Goodrich
     F          C
I am writing to you
   Am          D  G
To tell you of my love

Please don't be offended
  F           C
I mean you no harm

Sure as the sun shines above

Dear Nellie Goodrich
       F             C
I have watched from afar
    Am            Dm   G
You pass my house each day
    C
The dreams that I dream
    F            C
Are always about you
     Am                Dm C
But, oh dear, what can I say?

[Chorus]
C             F                 C
 In these few words that I'm writing
           F               C   G
Is my life open for you to see
C             F              C
 And one wish that I wish constantly
       F                  C  G
I wish that you could see me

C             F                 C
 In these few words that I'm writing
           F               C   G
Is my life open for you to see
C             F              C
 And one wish that I wish constantly
       F                  C  G
I wish that you could see me

Dear Nellie Goodrich
     F           C
I am ending this letter
  Am          Dm  G
I will wait patiently
C
I will be thinking
    F              C
And dreaming about you
     C              Am       D7
Dear Nellie, please think of me
