Verse 1

C                           G7
I just got your letter dear sweetheart
                             C
And darling I miss you oh so much
                                   G7
Your letter has cheered me but I'm lonesome
D7                                G7
Lonesome just to feel your loving touch

Verse 2

C                                 G7
Letters have no arms dear to hold me
                           C
And kisses on paper are so cold
                                     G7
These sweet things you write in your letters
                              C
I wanna be with you dear when told

Verse 3

G7                                           C
Old letters never bring me the touch of your hand
D7                           G7
Or none of your sweet loving charms
C                         G7
I get so lonesome for you darling
                                  C
And you know that letters have no arms

Verse 4

G7                                           C
Old letters never bring me the touch of your hand
   D7                        G7
Or none of your sweet loving charms
C                         G7
I get so lonesome for you darling
                                  C
And you know that letters have no arms
