Couldn't find a tab for this great song from the "No more shall we part" album, so here
it is. Originally a song for piano, but it sounds good on an acoustic guitar as well,
especially if played fingerpicking-style to get the bass notes. I've tabbed just the
chords - the piano plays a few notes different here and there. Listen to the record,
and enjoy!

Intro:
D D G G x4
Verse 1:
D D/F# G I hold this letter in my hand D A plea, a petition, a kind of prayer D/F# G I hope it does as I have planned
Losing her again is more than I can bear
D D/F# G I kiss the cold, white envelope D I press my lips against her name D/F# G Two hundred words, we live in hope
The sky hangs heavy with rain
Chorus:
D D/F# G Love letter, Love letter D D/F# G Go get her, go get her D D/F# G Love letter, love letter D D/F# A Go tell her, go tell her
Verse 2:
D D/F# G A wicked wind whips up the hill D A handful of hopeful words D/F# G I love her and I always will
The sky is ready to burst
D D/F# G Said something I did not mean to say D Say something I did not mean to say D/F# G Said something I did not mean to say (D) It all came out the wrong way
Chorus
Verse 3:
D D/F# G Rain your kisses down upon me D Rain your kisses down in storm D/F# G And for all who'll come before me
In your slowly fading forms
D D/F# G I'm going out of my mind D Will leave me standing in the rain D/F# G with a letter and a prayer G Whispered in the wind
Outro:
A G Come back to me A G Come back to me A G A D Oh, baby, please come back to me
