Trying To Get To You
recorded by Ricky Nelson
Written by Rose Marie McCoy and Charles Singleton
 
G
I've been traveling over mountains

Even through the valleys too
          C
I've been traveling night and day
                D7                        G
Running all the way baby trying to get to you


Ever since I read your letter

Where you said you loved me true
          C
I've been traveling night and day
                D7                        G
Running all the way baby trying to get to you

G7                      C
When I read your loving letters
                       G
Then my heart began to sing
                      A7
There were many miles between us
                       D7
But they didn't mean a thing

G
I just had to reach you baby

In spite of all that I’ve been through
       C
I kept traveling night and day  
                D7                        G
Running all the way baby trying to get to you

Repeat #3 and 4
