#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)

#Verse 1:
I hold this letter in my hand
A plea, a petition, a kind of prayer
I hope it does as I have planned
Losing her again is more than I can bear
I kiss the cold, white envelope
I press my lips against her name
Two hundred words, we live in hope
The sky hangs heavy with rain
Chorus:
Love letter, Love letter
Go get her, go get her
Love letter, love letter
Go tell her, go tell her
Verse 2:
A wicked wind whips up the hill
A handful of hopeful words
I love her and I always will
The sky is ready to burst
Said something I did not mean to say
Say something I did not mean to say
Said something I did not mean to say
It all came out the wrong way
Verse 3:
Rain your kisses down upon me
Rain your kisses down in storm
And for all who'll come before me
In your slowly fading forms
I'm going out of my mind
Will leave me standing in the rain
with a letter and a prayer
Whispered in the wind
Outro:
Come back to me
Come back to me
Oh, baby, please come back to me
