[B] _ _ [C#] _ [D#] [Em] An old man was [B] sitting [A] at his table one [E]

[A] Writing a [E] letter [F#] to pass [B] time _ away _ _
[E] His little _ _ granddaughter [A]

[A] Saying, won't you please [E] write [B] a letter [E] for _ me _ _ _ _

[E] _ The _ _
_ _ [C#] _ [D#] _ [E] _ _ _ _

_ [D#] _
[E] That God up in heaven _ [A] _
will answer my [E] prayer
[A] And take me [E] to live with [B] my mommy up _ there
[E] _ _ _ _ _

_ [A] That God up [E] in heaven, [F#] you'll get this [B] I _ hope
[D#] _
He [E] stamped it and handed [A] it to her to [E] mail
[A] Her big eyes [E] were shining, [B] her little [E] face pale
_ _ _ _ She _ _ [C#] _ [D#] [E] was crossing the street [A] to the box or [E] the way
[A] When she [E] stepped out, [F#] never looked [B] either _ _ way
[D#] _
[E] A big hot toe hit her [A] and sped away [E] fast

_ _ [C#m] _ [D#] [E] The postman was passing [A] and picked up the [E] note
_ [A] _ Address to [E] the master, _ [F#]
these [B] words he spoke
_ [D#]
Straight [E] up into heaven [A] this letter did [E] go
[A] She's happy [E] up there with [B] her mommy I [E] _ _ know _ _ _ _
