Tonart: D major•
Verse 1
D
G
D
G
I was standing by my window
G
Without a thought of worry or of care
When I saw the postman
D
C
coming down the pathway
D
G
With such a happy smile and jaunty eyes
Oh, he rang the bell and whistled
G
And then he said good morning to you,
But he little knew the sorrow
D
When he handed me a letter
G
D
G
etched in black
Then with trembling hands
D
I took the letter from him
G
I broke the seal and this is what it said
Come home, my boy,
C
your poor old father wants you
G
your mother dear is dead
Oh, your mother's words,
D
the last she ever whispered
Please tell my boy
G
I want him to come back
My eyes are blurred,
C
my poor old heart is breaking
G
D
G
this letter edged in black
D
I bow my head in sadness and in sorrow
G
The sunlight of my life, it now has fled
Since the postman brought that
C
letter yesterday morning
D
Saying come home my boy,
G
your mother dear is dead
Oh it said forgive the angry
You know I never meant them,
May the angels bear me witness,
Your forgiveness
D
in this letter edged in black.
