Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][A][Em][A][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Dear Sweetheart,
as I write you this letter[A],
my eyes are blinded with [D]tears.
And with these few words
I will [G]tell you [Em]I'm [E]a fool[A],
but I love you, my [D]dear
Your life will be sweeter [A]without me
I was such a heartache to [D]you
But always remember I [G]love you
[Em]An d[E] I'm sorry[A]
you've loved me so [D]true
My free days on earth are [A]over
I am doomed to die, you [D]know
That is why I'm writing this letter[G],
[Em]for [E]the [A]pain in my heart hurts me so.[D]
Please come to the prison tomorrow,
[A]let me hold you in my arms once aga[D]in.
Just say that you still [G]love me,
[Em]Thou[E]gh I know [A]that
love is now in [D]vain.
These cold gray walls all [A]around me,
There is nothing to do but [D]sigh.
My life will be over in [G]three more [E]days
For the [A]say and the cheer I must [D]die

[Outro 1]
