Tabbed by: Frank Couldn't find a tab for this great song from the "No more shall we part"-album, so here it is. Originally a song for piano, but it sounds good on an acoustic guitar as well, especially if played fingerpicking-style to get the bass-notes. I've tabbed just the chords - the piano plays a few notes different here and there. Listen to the record, and enjoy! Tuning: standard (To play along to the record, use a capo on the 1st fret). (Chords relative to capo) D: x00232 D/F#: 200232 (use your thumb to play F# on the E-string)
G: 320033 A: x02220 Intro: D D G G x4 Verse 1:
D D/F# G I hold this letter in my hand A plea, a petition, a kind of
D prayer
D/F# G I hope it does as I have planned Losing her again is more than I can bear
D D/F# G I kiss the cold, white envelope
