I gave a let-ter to the post-man 
-2 -2  -2 -2 -2    3
He put it in his sack 
   3   -2   3  2   3    -3   2
Bright and ear-ly next morn-ing  
2     -2   -2  3   3   1
He brought my let-ter back 

 3    -3  -4 -3 3  4    4  4   -5  -5
She wrote up-on it Re-turn To Send-er 
5    5   5   -5
Ad-dress un-known  
5    5  -5  -5   5   5    5
No such num-ber  No such zone 
5   5  5  -5  -5  5   5   5    -5
We had a quar-rel, a lov-er`s spat 
-3  -3  -3  -3  -3 -3  -3
I write I`m sor-ry but my 
-3  -3    -3  -4   4   -4
Let-ter keeps com-ing back 

2    3  2    3    2  3   3   -3   2
So then I dropped it in the mail-box 
-2   -2  -2  -2  -2  3
And sent it Spec-ial D 
   3    2   3  2   3    -3   2
Bright and ear-ly next morn-ing 
2   -2   -2    3   3  1
It came right back to me 

 3    -3  -4 -3 3  4    4  4   -5  -5
She wrote up-on it Re-turn To Send-er 
5    5   5   -5

Let-ter keeps com-ing back 

  4    4  -3   4  -3   4  -3  4   4
This time I`m gon-na take it my-self 
 1   4  -3   4   4   4   3
And put it right in her hand 
-3  4  -3   4    -3  -3   4 -3  4   -3
And if it comes back the ver-y next day 
 -5   3   -3* -3*  3    3   -3  -4  -3 3
Then I`ll un-der-stand the writ-ing on it
