G
A cowpoke rode in one hot dusty day
G D
To a store down in old San Antone
C G
He stood at the window and I heard him say
G D G
Do I have a letter from home
G
The postmaster looked through the mail that had come
G D
Then smilingly shook his grey head
C G
The cowpoke looked sadly a moment at him
G D G
And these are the words that he said
[Chorus]
G C G
No letter from home, no letter from home
G D
There's never a letter from home
G C G
No message from Mother or none of the others
G D G
There's never a letter from home

[Verse]
G
That night he was shot on the wrong side of town
G D
No more on those plains will he roam
C G
I reached for my Bible and gave it to him
G D G
And said son here's your letter from home
G
If only I had just a little more time
G D
To read it The young cowboy said
C G
I can't take it with me and I must go on
G D G
Then he died with his letter unread
//Repeat chorus
G C G
The letter from home, the letter from home
G D
No time for the letter from home
G C G
The cowboy lay dead with his letter unread
G D G
Too late for the letter from home
[Outro]
