Letter From My Darlin

Bill Monroe

Key of G · Chords: I V

Verse 1

I can’t answer her letter
For she left me no address
You should know my little darling
    G       D             G
You left my poor heart in distress

Chorus

  G
I got a letter from my darling
    G                 D
She said she hated to go
   G
It broke my heart the words she wrote me
    G         D                 G
She closed by saying I love you so

Verse 2

    G
She wrote the words she knew would hurt me
    G                     D
She said I never could be true
     G
I’ve tried I’ve tried my little darling
   G        D                 G
To prove my love was just for you

Verse 3

     G
This letter meant goodbye forever
       G               D
Though we’ll have each other’s hearts
    G
Our love will fade away in sadness
         G   D                  G
Precious one why did we have to part
