[C]
Sing [G] a song [C] of silence
[F] Hey Possum, this is Leona.
I met a fan of yours [C] today and [G] George, she gave me a [C] letter to pass your way.
[F] She said, Leona, will you and Hag please [G] help me let him know before it's too late?
[C] Because the only address I have is [F] Mr.
Jones, anywhere in [C] USA.
And as she [G] talked about you George, her eyes lit up [C] brighter than any star in heaven's sky.
And if you'll listen while I read her letter, [F] you'll know the reason why.
[G] Dear George, please, [C] you've got to take time and read this letter, because every word of it is from my heart.
[F] You see, I'm most probably [G] the only person in the world who would never hurt you,
[D] because I see myself and a [G] thousand other broken hearts all over the world when I hear [C] you sing.
It takes one to know [G] one, don't it George?
And I [C] know that's why you sing a sad song like no one else has ever done.
And you've touched [F] millions in the same way.
But George, that night in that motel room, you [C] really touched me.
Like the way you shook my hand and you hugged [D] my neck, and [F] I thought my whole world had ended.
[G] Because never once did I think I was good enough for you to [C] even wipe your feet on.
And you [F] played my guitar, and I'll never sell [C] it.
Well, they'll most probably bury me with [G] it or over it.
Because George, you held [C] it with more love than I'd ever seen a man hold a woman with.
[A] And we both laughed when [C] you said it was kind of like a woman.
[G] It has to be in tune before you start fooling with it.
[C] And we talked about how much we both loved Hag,
[D] and how his song, [F] I Must Have Done Something Bad, fit us to a tee.
You said you might even record it [C] someday, and I told you Hag loved you as much as I did.
[Em] And he'd be [F] quite honored.
But George, [G] you know as I sat there and listened to you sing,
[C] everyone else in that old motel room was [F] talking.
And God, what a loss [C] they suffered, because they missed the biggest [G] George Jones concert in the world.
[F] You sang what your heart was feeling at that [C] very minute.
You asked me how [G] old I was [C] and said you couldn't believe it.
Took the saddest song you [G] knew to make me cry.
Then you sang, Yes, Jesus Loves Me.
Well, George, what I'm trying to say is [F] I love you, too.
We all love you.
We thank God you've come back to us.
[C] Don't leave us, but most of all, George, thank you for calling me your friend.
