Write Me A Letter Lyrics And Chords By Derek Ryan
To play along with the youtube video of Derek Ryan then use the same guitar chords I have given.
[D]I'm [G]leaving town [D]daddy, I'm [G]leaving town to[C]day
'cause [G]it don't matter [E]what I try, I [A]just can't find my [D]way
I'll [G]be so sad leaving, [D]I've got a [G]hunger deep in[C]side,
My [E]dreams, my am[D]bitions and my [C]pr[D]id[C]e.
My daddy said [G]write me a letter, [D]won't you [G]write me a letter [C]son
And tell me [G]all about the weather, [D]won't you [G]write me a letter[C] son.
And [G]every day I'll [D]pray for you and [G]hope that all your dreams [C]come true.
And that [E]life will treat you [D]better, won't you [C]write me a letter.
Dear [G]daddy I'm in [D]Sydney, such [G]a lovely town I [C]know
But [G]it's no hills of [E]Donegal or the [A]rolling Mountains Of [D]Mourne
The [G]harbour wind it takes me back to the shores of Galway [C]Bay
And daddy [E]when I'm blue I'll [D]think of you and [[C] after[D] ? ]
[C]The day you said [G]write me a letter, [D]O won't you [G]write me a letter [C]son
And tell me [G]all about the weather, [D]O' won't you [G]write me a letter [C]son.
And [G]every day I'll [D]pray for you and [G]hope that all your [C]dreams come true
And that [E]life will treat you [D]better, O' won't you [C]write me a letter.

[C]Dear [A]daddy I'm in the [E]U.S.A. I'm [A]hear in Tennes[D]see
And the [A]river sure is [F#m]pretty but it's [B7]not our Lovely [E]Lee
I'm [A]singing good old country and the people sing a[D]long
I drive a [F#m]fancy car, they say [E]I'm a star but [D]your words keep me strong
O' you said [A]write me a letter, [E]O won't you [A]write me a letter [D]son
And tell me [A]all about the weather, [E]O' won't you [A]write me a letter [D]son.
And [A]every day I'll [E]pray for you and [A]hope that all your [D]dreams come true
And that [F#m]life will treat you [E]better, O' won't you [D]write me a letter.
