1. Hello, Mr Mailman, thank you for the letter,

C Am F - G

it's from my baby far away !

C Am F G

Wait, Mr Mailman, this couldn't be my letter;

C Am F - G

baby never writes this way.

C Am F G

She didn't say “I love you” or “I'm thinking of you”,

C Am F G

she didn't say “sincerely” or “I miss you dearly”,

C G

at the end was just “Goodbye my friend”,

C - G - - - - - - - - - - C - Am - F - G

just a note, that's all she wrote.
