DWhy don't you write me, | I'm out in the jungle,
|E | | I'm hungry to hear you.
A7Send me a card, | I am waiting so hard
|Bm |F#m | To be near yo-ou. D |G | (La, la, la) |D Why don't you write? | Something is wrong |E7 | | And I know I got to be there.
A7Maybe I'm lost, | But I can't make the cost
|Bm |F#m |D Of the airfare, ooh |G | Tell me why, why, why |A | | Tell me why, why, why
DWhy don't you write me, | A letter would brighten
|E | | My loneliest evening.
A7Mail it today | If it's only to say
|Bm |F#m | That you're Ieaving me, oo D |G |D |D7 | (La, la, la) G7 | Monday morning, sitting in the sun | Hoping and wishing for the mail to come D |D7 | Tuesday, never got a word, mmm. G7 | Wednesday, Thursday, ain't no sign, | Drank a half a bottle of iodine.
DFriday, woe is me |D7 |G | I'm gonna hang my body from the highest tree.
|D Why don't you write me? |G Why don't you write me? |D Why don't you write me?
