Jackie Greene - Write a letter home

^CCigarettes are burning ^Gdown to my fingers ^FIn my motel, where the ^Csmell still ^G/Blingers From the ^Amnight before with a ^Cten dollar whore Who ^Fdidn't even know my ^Gname The ^CTV says nothing, ^Gnothing to me And I ^Ffeel so low in the ^Chighest deg^G/Bree Like a ^Amtree with no root, like a ^Cgun that don't shoot Like a ^Fdog outside on a ^Gchain

And there's ^Fno use for me to ^Csit here an moan ^GMany a man has ^Ambeen more a^Glone And ^FI might feel better if ^CI write a letter If ^GI write a ^Fletter ^Chome

Yeah, ^CI heard the news bout' that ^Gold gang of mine They're ^Fall getting married, they're ^Call doing ^G/Bfine They're ^Amall getting older, and ^Cneedin' a shoulder That's ^Feasy to lean ^Gon ^CBut as for me, I'm ^Ghalf way to Denver How ^Flong has it been? I ^Cjust can't re^G/Bmember It ^Amall starts to fade, 'cause the ^Clife that I made Is the ^Flife that I dream ^Gon.

And there's ^Fno use for me to ^Csit here an moan ^GMany a man has ^Ambeen more a^Glone And ^FI might feel better if ^CI write a letter If ^GI write a ^Fletter ^Chome

^C Now, I can't help but to ^Gbe who I am Though I've ^Flet many women ^Cslip from my ^G/Bhands I ^Amlet them all go, ^Cwhy I don't know It ^Fjust made me feel like a ^Gman But ^Cwhat I know now, though it ^Gmay be too late You ^Fgot to love someone and ^Clet go the ^G/Bweight You ^Amgot to make do when you ^Cfind love that's true ^FThis now I under^Gstand

And there's ^Fno use for me to ^Csit here an moan ^GMany a man has ^Ambeen more a^Glone And ^FI might feel better if ^CI write a letter If ^GI write a ^Fletter ^Chome If ^GI write a ^Fletter ^Chome
