Vince Gill – A Letter To My Mama (Guitar)

D                             G       D
Oh, I need to write a letter, put it down in black and white

            Bm                      G            A
No, a phone call just won't cut it, not the way I feel tonight

G        Gbm                E
A letter to my mama from the bottom of my heart

  Em      Gbm   D         A
"I'm sorry" is a real good place to start

   D      Bm                   G       D
I'm sorry I was selfish, let's chalk it up to youth

          Bm              G                       A
I got too old to need you, that's just running from the truth

G        D                       Bm     A   E
I'm sorry things didn't work out for you and my old man

G         D                  A
Sometimes life don't turn out like you planned

Bm     Gb             Bm           E
Lookin' back, I wonder how you ever pulled us through

G      A                  D
I can't imagine walking in your shoes

Bm        Gb                  Bm                E
If I could stop this pen from shaking, I'd write these words down too

Em             E
There's no one in this world I love like you

   D             Bm               G              D
Oh, I've written down the memories of these sixty-some odd years

              Bm                      G       A
Trying hard to just say "Thank you" as I wipe away the tears

G         D                 Bm          E
I hear my grandson calling, so I guess I better go

Em             D            A
Could never pay you back the love I owe

A  D
Oh, I finished up the letter, put it down in black and white

                Bm              G               A
No, a phone call wouldn't cut it, not the way I feel tonight

G        D         Bm       Gbm         E
A letter to my mama from the bottom of my heart

Bm      Gbm          E
The very bottom of my heart
