A Love Letter

[Verse 1]
G C
Dear old tree in my front yard
G D
thank you for your shade
G C
your leaves are speckled with streaming rays of sun
G D
and I love the rustling noise they make

[Pre-chorus 1]
C
The swing on your branch
G
is my favorite spot
C
And I’m sorry for the steps we nailed
Em D
into your bark

[Chorus]
G C
I’ll love you forever
G Em
yes, I’ll love you still
G Em
I’ll love you more than any man
Em D G
Oh, I promise that I will.

[Verse 2]
G C
Dear old chickens that wander through my yard
G D
Thank you for the eggs that you have laid
G C
Oh their blue/green shells are speckled with dirt
G D
but I love the cracking sound they make

[Pre-chorus 2]
C
While chasing you is something
G
I admit I’ve done a lot
C
I could never steam or fry you
Em D
or put you in a pot

[Chorus]
G C
Yes, I’ll love you forever
G Em
Yes, I’ll love you still
G Em
Oh, I’ll love you more than any man
Em D G
Oh, I promise that I will.

[Verse 3]
G C
Dear old house that I grew up in
G D
I miss you when I’m gone
G C
The dog hair on my sofa
G D
and the light through my window at dawn

[Pre-chorus 3]
C
While I know at times it seems that I am
G
far away
C
I’ll be home for thanksgiving
Em D
and on christmas day

[Chorus]
G C
Yes, I’ll love you forever
G Em
Yes, I’ll love you still
G Em
Oh, I’ll love you more than any man
Em D G
Oh, forever I will.
