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).

Verse 1:

D              D/F#        G 

I hold this letter in my hand

                                  D

 A plea, a petition, a kind of  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

                              D

I press my lips against her name

             D/F#                 G

Two hundred words, we live in hope

         

The sky hangs heavy with rain





Chorus:

D       D/F#           G   

Love letter, Love letter

D        D/F#       G

Go get her, go get her

D       D/F#            G

Love letter, love letter

D       D/F#        A

Go tell her, go tell her





Verse 2:

D         D/F#                G

A wicked wind whips up the hill

                       D

A handful of hopeful words

             D/F#       G

I love her and I always will

     

The sky is ready to burst

D                 D/F#            G

Said something I did not mean to say

                                 D 

Say something I did not mean to say

                  D/F#              G

Said something I did not mean to say

                          (D)

It all came out the wrong way





Chorus





Verse 3:

D           D/F#             G

Rain your kisses down upon me

                            D

Rain your kisses down in storm

        D/F#                    G

And for all who'll come before me



In your slowly fading forms

D          D/F#        G

I'm going out of my mind

                        D

Will leave me standing in the rain

          D/F#            G

with a letter and a prayer

G

Whispered in the wind



Outro:

A            G

Come back to me

A             G

Come back to me

A            G          A      D

Oh, baby, please come back to me
