C                                       G7 
Why do you treat me as if I were only a friend 

                                                  C 
What have I done that's made you so different and cold 

                                C7        F 
Sometimes I wonder if you'll be contented again 

G7                                             C 
Or will you be happy when you are withered and old 

  
                                            G7 
I cannot offer you diamonds and mansions so fine 

                                                    C 
And I cannot offer you clothes that your young body craves 

                                   C7         F 
But if you'll say that you long to forever be mine 

G7                                                           C 
Just think of the heartaches the tears and the sorrow you'll save 

  
                                              G7 
When you are weary and tired of another man's gold 

                                                C 
And when you get lonely remember this letter my own 

                                             C7      F 
But don't try to answer though I've suffered anguish untold 

G7                                               C 
If you don't love me then why don't you leave me alone 

  
                                           G7 
As I am writing this letter I think of the past 

                                             C 
And of the promises that you are breaking so free 

                                       C7          F 
But to this old world I'll soon say my farewell at last 

G7                                                 C 
I will be gone when you read this last letter from me
