The Last Letter
DWhy do you F#mtreat me as if DI were only a Emfriend
A7What have I done that's Emmade you so A7different and Dcold
DSometimes I F#mwonder if Am7you'll be contD7ented aGgain
A7Or will you be happy when you are withered and Dold
I cannot offer you diamonds and mansions so fine
And I cannot offer you clothes that your young body craves
But if you'll say that you long to forever be mine
Just think of the heartaches the tears and the sorrow you'll save
When you are weary and tired of another man's gold
And when you get lonely remember this letter my own
But don't try to answer though I've suffered anguish untold
If you don't love me then why don't you leave me alone
As I am writing this letter I think of the past
And of the promises that you are breaking so free
But to this old world I'll soon say my farewell at last
I will be gone when you read this last letter from me

Sometimes I wonder if you'll be contented again

A7 D

Or will you be happy when you are withered and old

I cannot offer you diamonds and mansions so fine

And I cannot offer you clothes that your young body craves

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

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

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

And when you get lonely remember this letter my own

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

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

As I am writing this letter I think of the past

And of the promises that you are breaking so free

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

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