Gonna Write A Letter

C                               F
I'm gonna write a letter, gonna 
         C
mail it today
                               G   
Just as soon as I think of the 
     C
words to say
I've been needing to send it for 
 F        C
nearly a year
                           G   
There's a woman back home who's 
             C
waiting to hear


{Chorus]

F                          C
I meant to tell you, dear Susannah
F                     G
I'm a long way from Louisiana and 
you
F              C         
And I know I promised to be 
       F
returning
F        C                       
Just as soon as I've saved the 
         F
money I'm earning for you


[Verse]

C                              
But I'm married to twins and I'm 
   F         C
living in Peru
                    G         C
Well, I'm gonna write a letter
           F     C
Get it off my mind
Continúa después del anuncio
              G     C
But you know the words


[Chorus]

F                C
Are so hard to find
F                                 
Sitting, thinking with my pen in 
  G
my hand
F              C             F
How can I make her understand?
F       C                    F
I meant to tell you, dear Julia


[Verse]

C                             
I'm a long way from the States, 
F                  C
mosquitoes and you
                             G   
I'll send some money to help with 
        C
the kids
                             F     
I'd like to thank you for all that 
      C
you did
                           G     
It's true Louisiana, and I'm with 
          C
Susannah, too


[Chorus]

F                            C
Got me a letter, it arrived today
F                             G
The words I read just blew me away
F                  C             
I don't believe I've ever felt so
   F
 low
F         C                   F
How could Susannah treat me so?


[Bridge]

F                                 
She said, "I meant to tell you, my 
C
sweet honey
F                                  
I'm a long way from your love, your 
G
money and you
F            C            F
Please don't think me under


[Closing]

F                                  
And I do believe you'll understand 
C
me too
F                C                
I got a bar and grill with Phil in 
F
