Letter to Heaven - Dolly Parton


This is such a beautiful yet bitter-sweet song!
The very last line never fails to get the waterworks started.
I hope this song also leaves you feeling like you want to go
hug your mother right now and tell her you love her.


Standard Tuning

Capo 2nd Fret


Verse 1:

   D           (D)            G         D
An old man was sitting at his table one day

G         D         E         A
Writing a letter to pass time away

    D          (D)               G         D
His little granddaughter climbed up on his knee

     G                D       A          D
Said won't you please write a letter for me?


Verse 2:

   D          (D)          G        D
Oh what will I say in this letter I pray

     G       D              E        A
Tell mommy I miss her since she went away

        D         (D)     G           D
And I'm coming to see her real soon I hope

   G             D             A           D
He choked back a big lump that rose in his throat


Verse 3:

     D       (D)           G           D
Tell mommy I love her, the little girl said

      G          D             E       A
And I pray every ev'ning 'fore I go to bed

     D        (D)          G         D
That God up in heaven will answer my prayer

    G          D            A        D
And take me to live with my mommy up there


Verse 4:

   D            (D)            G       D
He sealed it and wrote on that big envelope

   G         D             E          A
To God up in heaven you'll get this I hope

   D             (D)        G         D
He stamped it and handed it to her to mail

    G             D            A           D
Her big eyes were shining, her little face pale


Verse 5:

        D            (D)           G            D
She was crossing the street to the box o'er the way

    G                D         E             A
And when she stepped out never looked either way

  D       (D)          G         D
A big auto hit her and sped away fast

    G             D                A           D
The little girls' prayers had been answered at last


Verse 6:

    D          (D)          G             D
The postman was passing and picked up the note

  G              D          E              A
Addressed to the Master and these words he spoke

         D       (D)         G          D
Straight up into heaven this letter did go

      G        D              A       D
She's happy up there with her mommy I know
