[F#] [B] I was standing by my window [F#] yesterday morning without a thought of worry [B] or of care
When I saw the postman coming [E] up the pathway [F#] with such a happy face and [B] a jolly air
He rang the bell and whistled [F#] as he waited and then he said good morning [B] to you Jack
But he little knew the sorrow [E] that he brought me [F#] as he handed me a letter [B] etched in black
With trembling hand I took that [F#] letter from him [A#] I [F#] broke the seal and this is [B] what it said
Come home my boy your dear old [E] father wants you [F#] Come home my boy your dear old [B] mother's dead
The last words your mother [F#] ever uttered was tell my boy I want him [B] to come back
My eyes are blurred my poor old [E] heart is breaking [F#] While I'm writing you this letter [B] etched in black
I bowed my head in sorrow and [F#] in silence The sunshine of my life it [B] all had fled
Santa postman dropped that letter [E] yesterday morning [F#] Come home my boy your dear old [B] mother's dead
Those angry words I wish I'd never [F#] spoken You know I did not mean them [B] don't you Jack
May the angels bear this message I [E] am sending Your [F#] forgiveness in this letter etched [B] in black
When I saw the postman coming [E] up the pathway [F#] with such a happy face and [B] a jolly air
