[F#] [B]
The postman dropped [F#] a letter in [B] my door.
[E] The address wasn't plain, but I [B] could see.
It [E] had traveled far across the great [B] Mississippi.
From my Filipino [F#] world across [B] the sea, the writing from [F#] the trembling hand [B] was blurred.
[E] The paper, it was sadly stained [B] with tears.
[E] It read to tell me you have [B] found another after I have [F#] longed and waited [B] all these years.
But I'm still praying that [E] the trade wind sends [F#] you sailing across [B] the blue.
In my heart, I have [E] dreams you'll anchor where [F#] your lonely Filipino [B] waits for you.
[F#] [B]
I promised [F#] her that I would [B] return someday.
[E] I told her she won't my [B] heart and hand.
[E] I told her a lie because [B] I was long far from home, a [F#] stranger in that [B] foreign land.
She wrote I've [F#] watched the driftwood [B] float on by.
[E] I've watched the sea roll on its [B] weary way.
[E] I've watched the silver [B] sails out on the ocean, hoping you [F#] might return to me [B] someday.
The chains of [F#] love may never [B] set you free, [E] but through the years those memories [B] fondly grow.
[E] This broken heart will always wait [B] for you, dear.
It was signed your [F#] lonely Filipino [B]
rose.
But I'm still praying that [E] the trade wind sends [F#] you sailing across [B] the blue.
In my heart, I have dreams [E] you'll anchor where [F#] your lonely Filipino waits [B] for you.
