B G#m B G#m E F#


[Chorus]

          B                   Bmaj7
Somebody, please, if somebody will
                E                   C#
Let them take a letter to my girl Lucille
                   F#
Let them tell her, Lord, how I'm missing her still
                  B            F#
I think about her constantly
          B                   Bmaj7
Somebody, please, if somebody can
                E                C#
Let them take a letter from this lonely man
             F#
All I ask is Lord, make her understand
                      B           E
I'll die if she don't wait for me


[Verse]

B                        D#m
I heard a rumor from the guys in cell A
G#m
You've served your time and you are
C#
Leaving today
               B                 F#
Well, there is something you can do
    E     F#            B
For me to help your old friend
         B7
Help me, please
                C#
'Cause I've got seven years in this
    F#
Old pen
         B          F#
Till I'm home again


[Chorus 2]

          B                   Bmaj7
Somebody, please, if somebody will
                E                   C#
Let them take a letter to my girl Lucille
                   F#
Let them tell her, Lord, how I'm missing her still
                  B            F#
I think about her constantly
          B                   Bmaj7
Somebody, please, if somebody can
                E                C#
Let them take a letter from this lonely man
             F#
All I ask is Lord, make her understand
                      B           E  F#
I'll die if she don't wait for me


[Verse 2]

B                        D#m
To hear you tell it, you're all innocent men
G#m                       C#
But I was guilty, and I'd do it all again
        B              F#        E
Just to hold her for a minute or two
    F#             B             B7
I'd steal a king's crown, yes, I would
           C#                         F#
If I don't reach that girl some way I know
                    B          F#
There'll be another man around


[Chorus 3]

          B                   Bmaj7
Somebody, please, if somebody will
                E                   C#
Let them take a letter to my girl Lucille
                   F#
Let them tell her, Lord, how I'm missing her still
                  B            F#
I think about her constantly   ugh
          B                   Bmaj7
Somebody, please, if somebody can
                E                C#
Let them take a letter from this lonely man
             F#
All I ask is Lord why don't you make her understand
                              B           F#
Because I'll die if she don't wait for me oooh


          B                   Bmaj7
Somebody, please, if somebody will
                E                   C#
Let them take a letter to my girl Lucille
                   F#
Let them tell her, Lord, how I'm missing her still
                  B            F#
I think about her constantly
