Xavier Rudd – The Letter (Guitar)

Em            C
I I sit by my window

     D               Em
With everything I've done

Em              D
Doors that I've opened

    C              Em
And webs that I've spun

        Em       C
And the candle beside me

   D            Em
it burns to the left

        Em          D
and the rain on the clay

          C              Em
sends the lizard to it's nest

     Em         C
will there be a time

            D        Em
when I will hold you again?

        Em          D
With my arms spread out

    C           Em
My chest you'll rest

         Em          C
And I'll write you a letter

     D            Em
With everything I know

          Em           D
’bout the weight of the world

        C                Em
And the way things could go

        Em    C
So live up my friend

     D       Em
Step back again

    Em                  D
For some things will be given

    C                   Em
For some you'll have to bend

                Em      C
You’ ll have to bend my friend

        D      Em
To hold on to this

    Em                    D
For some things will come easy

    C              Em
And some will be a test

               Em      C   D   Em
You’ll have to bend

        Em             C
Now the ocean connects me

   D            Em
To everything I know

    Em           D
I’m mellowing my mind

      C             Em
So my heart, it can call

           Em          C
With these trees as my witness

     D             Em
I'll slice up some fruit

    Em           D
And each to their peaceful

       C            Em
good intentions and truth

           Em         C
There will be a time

          D          Em
when I'll hold you again

        Em          D
With my arms spread out

       C          Em
I will dive right in

       Em           C
So now here is your letter

     D            Em
With everything I know

         Em             D
’Bout the weight of the world

        C                Em
And the way things could go

        Em    C
So live up my friend

     D       Em
Step back again

                Em      C
You’ ll have to bend my friend
