Intro: Gm F C  
  
    F7                   G7                C                  Em                   
This morning I received air mail letter 3 from my connection overseas. 

F7     
I pulled the paper back, 
G7                 C         Em 
You begin your attack and it means: 

F                  G 
Of all the places I laid down my head, 
C              Am 
I think of two I regret 
F                  G                 C      Am 
Love isn't easy my baby you're sayin today, oh whoao 

Dm 
But tell Mr. Shoemaker I'll be away 
C7 
On a rocket or a comet or the dock of the bay 
Dm 
On a continental steam ship sailin away 
C7 
On a one way ticket on a 1st class airplane 
Dm 
I wanna know what you're thinkin about 
C7                      Dm       C 
Don't just let me go... oh whoa, oh oh 

F C 

F                             G 
Four hundred days have passed since I've heard from you last 
C                    Em 
I'm getting worried, I admit 
F                   
Maybe it's nothing much 
G                         C 
There's nicer shores in sight 
               Em 
Oh I just don't know 

F                   G                 C                Am 
Of all the places I laid down my head I think of two I regret 
F                  G                  C       Am 
Love isn't easy my baby we'd tell you today. oh whoao 
Dm 
But tell Mr. Shoemaker I'll be away 
C7 
On a rocket or a comet or the dock of the bay 
Dm 
On a continental steam ship sailin away 
C7 
On a one way ticket on a 1st class airplane 
Dm 
I wanna know what you're thinkin about 
C7                      Dm     C 
Don't just let me go... 

C 
I'm sayin so long 
Am 
I want my baby back 
Dm 
I know it's hard to see 
Dm6 
Why she's in love with me 
C 
I'm sayin so long 
Am 
I want my baby back 
Dm 
I know it's hard to see 
Dm6 
Why she's in love with me 
C 
So long to the headstrong 
Am                               Dm 
I wasn't qualified to lead that city life 
Dm6                    G 
That's all I have to say 


C
