Song: The Letter
By :     Joe Cocker
{original key: Bbm}

[Intro:] Am, Am, Am,  Am

[verse: 1]
Am                          F
 Give me a ticket for an aeroplane,
Am                                 D7
 I ain't got time to take no fast train.
Am                         G        D      F          E7
 Oh, the lonely days are gone; I'm coming home;

My baby, she wrote me a letter.

[verse: 2]
Am                                F
 I don't care how much I got to spend,
  Am                                    D7
I won't find my way, my way back home again.
Am                        G     D           F       E7
 Oh, the lonely days are gone; I'm coming home;

My baby, she wrote me a letter.

Well, she wrote me a letter,
            F       C                    G7
Said; she couldn't live, with-out me no more.
C               G  
 Listen to me Mister;
           F                    C
Can't you see I've got to get back,
       G                  E7 {stop}    
To my baby once again..      .anyway?
  
[verse: 3]
Am                                F
 I don't care how much I got to spend,

I won't find my way, my way back home again.
Am                         G   D           F          E7
 Oh, the lonely days are gone; I'm coming home;
