[Intro]
G D
[Verse 1]
D A
I was standin' by my window yesterday morning
D
Without a thought of worry or care
D7 G
When I saw the postman comin' up the pathway
A A7 D
With such a happy face and jolly air
[Verse 2]
D A
Well He rang the bell and whistled as he waited
D
Then he said; "Good morning to you, Jack"
D7 G
But he little knew the sorrow that had brought me
A A7 D
When he handed me a letter edged in black
[Verse 3]
D A
With trembling hand I took the letter from him
D
I broke the seal and this is what it read:
D7 G
"Come home my boy, your dear old Daddy wants you
A A7 D
Come home my boy, your dear old Mother's dead"
[Verse 4]
D A
I bowed my head in sorrow and in sadness
D
The sunshine of my life, it all had fled
D7 G
When the post man brought that letter yesterday morning
A A7 D
"Saying come home my boy, your dear old mother's dead"
[Verse 5]
D A
"The last words your mother ever uttered:
D
Tell my boy I want him to come back
D7 G
My eyes are blurred, my poor old heart is breaking
A A7 D
So, I'm writing you this letter edged in black"
[Verse 6]
D A
"Forget those angry words that we have spoken
D
You know I didn't mean them, don't you, Jack
D7 G
May the angels bear as witness, I am asking
A A7 D
Your for-giveness in this letter edged in black"
