I gave a letter to the postman,
Dm            G7
he put in his sack.
C                     Am
Bright and early next morning,
   Dm         G7     C
he brought my letter back.

(t) She wrote upon it.

no such number, no such zone. 
F        G7       F        G7
We had a quarrel, a lovers spat.
D7                                           G7
I write I'm sorry but my letter keeps coming back.
C                           Am
So then I dropped it in the mailbox,
Dm                  G7
and sent it Special D.

F                                                          C
This time I'm gonna take it myself and put it right in her hand.

And if it comes back the very next day,
