Letter To Heaven
Written and recorded by Dolly Parton
[3/4 time]

C                             F         C
An old man was sitting at his table one day
F         C         D7        G7
Writing a letter to pass time away
    C                            F         C
His little granddaughter climbed up on his knee
     F         C              G7         C
Said won't you please write a letter for me

                           F        C
Oh what will I say in this letter I pray
F            C        D7             G7
Tell mommy I miss her since she went away
    C                     F           C
And I'm coming to see her real soon I hope
   F             C             G7           C
He choked back a big lump that arose in his throat

                          F           C
Tell mommy I love her the little girl said
F          C             D7           G7
And I pray every evening fore I go to bed
     C                     F         C
That God up in heaven will answer my prayers
    F          C            G7       C
And take me to live with my mommy up there

                          F        C
He sealed it and wrote on that big envelope
F            C             D7         G7
To God up in heaven you'll get this I hope
   C                        F         C
He stamped it and handed it to her to mail
    F             C           G7          C
Her big eyes were shining her little face pale

                                   F            C
She was crossing the street to the box o'er the way
F                C         D7            G7
When she stepped out never looked either way
  C                    F         C
A big auto hit her and sped away fast
    F             C                G7          C
The little girl's prayers had been answered at last

                            F             C
The postman was passing and picked up the note
F                C          D7             G7
Addressed to the Master and these words he spoke
C                       F               C
Straight up into heaven this letter did go
      F        C          G7          C
She's happy up there with her mommy I know
