D             F#m      Bm7              C7     A7        E7
   Why do you treat me --- as if I were only a friend?

Em7                          A7                      D      A7
   What have I done that has made you so distant and cold?

D              F#m    Bm7                 D7       G      E
   Sometimes I wonder --- if you'll be contented again

A7                                             D     A7
   Will you be happy when you are withered and old?
[Verse 2]
D           F#m       Bm7      C7                 A7
   I cannot offer you diamonds -- and mansions so fine

Em7                                                D        A7
   I cannot offer you clothes that your young body craves

D                F#m      Bm7                D7      G     Em7
   But if you'll say that --- you long to forever be mine

A7                                                               D    A7
   Just think of the teardrops, the heartaches and sorrow you'll save
[Verse 3]
D             F#m          Bm7    C7                A7
   While I am writing this letter -- I think of the past

Em7           A7                            D    A7
   And of the promises that you have broken - so free

D              F#m       Bm7           D7                 G      Em7
   And to this old world --- I'll soon say my farewell at last

A7                                               D       G D
   I will be gone when you read this last letter from me
