Jack Greene - The Last Letter Chords

C                                       G7
Why do you treat me as if I were only a friend

                                                  C
What have I done that's made you so different and cold

                                C7        F
Sometimes I wonder if you'll be contented again

G7                                             C
Or will you be happy when you are withered and old

 
                                            G7
I cannot offer you diamonds and mansions so fine

                                                    C
And I cannot offer you clothes that your young body craves

                                   C7         F
But if you'll say that you long to forever be mine

G7                                                           C
Just think of the heartaches the tears and the sorrow you'll save

 
                                              G7
When you are weary and tired of another man's gold

                                                C
And when you get lonely remember this letter my own

                                             C7      F
But don't try to answer though I've suffered anguish untold

G7                                               C
If you don't love me then why don't you leave me alone

 
                                           G7
As I am writing this letter I think of the past

                                             C
And of the promises that you are breaking so free

                                       C7          F
But to this old world I'll soon say my farewell at last

G7                                                 C
I will be gone when you read this last letter from me
