[Intro 1]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
I got a let[B]ter [Em]this morning
What do you reckon it read?
It said the gal you love is dead
I got a let[A]ter this morning
What do you reckon it read?
[Em]

[Verse 2]
[B]Said "Hurry, [A]Hurry because
the gal you love [Em]is dead"
Well I packed up my suitcase
I took off down the road
When I got there she was layin'
on the cooling board
I packed [A]up my suitcase
An[Em]d I [A]took off down the ro[Em]ad
[B]When I got there she was[A] layin' on the cooling boa[Em]rd[D]

[Verse 3]
It looked [Em]like ten thousand people
standing around the burial ground
I didn't know I loved her 'till
they began to let her down
[A]Looked like ten thousand
people standing on the burial [Em]ground
[B]I didn't know that I loved her[A]
'till they began to let her down
[Em]

[Verse 4]
You know it's so hard to love
Someone that don't love you
Won't get satisfaction
Don't care what you do
[A]So hard to love
Someone that don't love you
[Em]

[Verse 5]
[B]Don't look like [A]satisfaction

Don't care what you do

[Verse 6]
Well I got [Em]up this morning
The break of day
Just hugging the pillows
She used to lay
Got [A]up this morning

[Verse 7]
The break [Em]of day
[B]Just hugging the pillows
[A]Where my baby used to lay

[Outro 1]
