D 
Why don't you write me,
| I'm out in the jungle,
   |E                  |  | 
I'm hungry to hear you. 

A7  
Send me a card,
| I am waiting so hard
     |Bm     |F#m | 
To be near yo-ou. 

D     |G        | 
  (La, la, la) 

             |D 
Why don't you write?
| Something is wrong
                   |E7       |  | 
And I know I got to be there. 

A7          
Maybe I'm lost,
| But I can't make the cost
      |Bm      |F#m |D 
Of the airfare, ooh 

        |G        | 
 Tell me why, why, why 

       |A        |   | 
Tell me why, why, why 

D            
Why don't you write me,
| A letter would brighten
  |E                  |  | 
My loneliest evening. 

A7  
Mail it today
| If it's only to say
           |Bm         |F#m | 
That you're Ieaving me, oo 

D     |G      |D  |D7 | 
  (La, la, la) 

G7                                | 
Monday morning, sitting in the sun
| Hoping and wishing for the mail to come
D                         |D7 | 
Tuesday, never got a word, mmm. 

G7                                 | 
Wednesday, Thursday, ain't no sign,
| Drank a half a bottle of iodine.
D  
Friday, woe is me 

   |D7                        |G           | 
I'm gonna hang my body from the highest tree. 

              |D 
 Why don't you write me? 

              |G 
 Why don't you write me? 

              |D
 Why don't you write me?
