I was standing by the window yesterday morning, 7 7 7 7 -7 7 -5 -5* 6 Without a thought of worry or of care, 7 7 9 9 9 7 6 6 -6 6 -5 -7 When I saw the postman coming up the pathway, -7 9 -8 -7 7 -6* -6 -4 6 -5 5 With such a happy look and jolly air. 5 -5 6 6 6 6 -6 6 -5 5 7 -4 As I heard the postman whistling yester morning, 7 7 7 7 -7 7 -5 -5* 6 Coming down the pathway with his pack, 7 7 9 9 9 7 6 6 -6 6 -5 -7 Oh he little knew the sorrow that he brought me -7 9 -8 -7 7 -6* -6 -4 6 -5 5 When he handed me that letter edged in black. 5 -5 6 6 6 6 -6 6 -5 5 7 -4 Oh, he rang the bell and whistled while he waited, 7 7 7 7 -7 7 -5 -5* 6 And then he said "Good morning to you, Jack." 7 7 9 9 9 7 6 6 -6 6 -5 -7 But he little knew the sorrow that he brought me -7 9 -8 -7 7 -6* -6 -4 6 -5 5 When he handed me that letter edged in black. 5 -5 6 6 6 6 -6 6 -5 5 7 -4 "Those angry words, I wish I'd never spoken, 7 7 7 7 -7 7 -5 -5* 6 You know I never meant them, don't you, Jack? 7 7 9 9 9 7 6 6 -6 6 -5 -7 May the angels bear me witness, I am asking -7 9 -8 -7 7 -6* -6 -4 6 -5 5 Your forgiveness in this letter edged in black."
