Tonart: Ab major
Verse 1
Ab
I was standin' by my
Eb
Window yesterday morning
Ab
Without a thought of worry or regret
When I saw the postman
Db
Comin' down the pathway
Eb
He was bringin' me a
Ab
letter edged in black
Verse 2
Ab
Well, he rang the bell and
Eb
Whistled as he waited
Then he said "Good mornin' to ya,
Ab
Jack"
But he never knew the sorrow
Eb
When he handed me that
Ab
letter edged in black
Verse 3
Ab
With trembling hand I took
I broke the seal and this
"Come home my boy
Db
Your dear old father wants you
Ab
Your dear old mother's dead"
The last words that your
Eb
Mother ever uttered was:
Ab
"Tell my boy I want him to come back
My eyes are dim
Db
My poor old heart is breaking
Eb
And, I'm writing you this
Ab
Letter edged in black"
Eb
I bowed my head in sorrow and in silence
Ab
The sunshine of my life, it all has fled
Since the postman brought
That letter yesterday
Db
Eb
Morning saying "come home my boy
Ab
Your poor old mother's dead"
Verse 4
Ab
"Those angry words I wish
You know I never meant them, don't you
Eb
Ab
May the angels bear me wit ness,
Eb
Db
I am asking
Eb
Your forgiveness in this letter
