|C |G |Fadd9 |C C2/B |Am7 |C |Fadd9 |G |G |
[Verse 1]
C G
Cigarettes are burning down to my fingers
Fadd9 C C2/B
In my motel, where the smell still lingers
Am7 C
From the night before with a ten dollar whore
Fadd9 G
Who didn't even know my name
C G
The TV says nothing, nothing to me
Fadd9 C C2/B
And I feel so low in the highest degree
Am7 C
Like a tree with no root, like a gun that don't shoot
Fadd9 G
Like a dog outside on a chain
[Chorus]
Fadd9 C
And there's no use for me to sit here an moan
G Am7 G
Many a man has been more alone
Fadd9 C
And I might feel better if I write a letter
G Fadd9 C
If I write a letter home
[Verse 1]
C G
Yeah, I heard the news bout' that old gang of mine
Fadd9 C C2/B
They're all getting married, they're all doing fine
Am7 C
They're all getting older, and needin' a shoulder
Fadd9 G
That's easy to lean on
C G
But as for me, I'm half way to Denver
Fadd9 C C2/B
How long has it been? I just can't remember
Am7 C
It all starts to fade, 'cause the life that I made
Fadd9 G
Is the life that I dream on
[Chorus]
Fadd9 C
And there's no use for me to sit here an moan
G Am7 G
Many a man has been more alone
Fadd9 C
And I might feel better if I write a letter
G Fadd9 C
If I write a letter home
[Instrumental]
|C |G |Fadd9 |C C2/B |Am7 |C |Fadd9 |G |G |

[Verse 3]
C G
I can't help but to be who I am
Fadd9 C C2/B
Though I've let many women slip from my hands
Am7 C
I let them all go, why I don't know
Fadd9 G
It just made me feel like a man
C G
But what I know now, though it may be too late
Fadd9 C C2/B
You got to love someone and let go the weight
Am7 C
You got to make do when you find love that's true
Fadd9 G
This now I understand
[Chorus]
Fadd9 C
And there's no use for me to sit here an moan
G Am7 G
Many a man has been more alone
Fadd9 C
I might feel better if I write a letter
G Fadd9 C
If I write a letter home
G Fadd9 C
If I write a letter home
