[D] I just got Your Letter, Dearest [A] Sweetheart
And Darlin', I Miss You, oh! so [D] Much
Your Letter has Cheered me, but I'm [A] Lonesome
[E-7] Lonesome just to Feel Your lovin' [A] Touch
CHORUS
[D] LETTERS HAVE NO ARMS, dear, to [A] hold Me
Kisses on Paper are so [D] Cold
These Sweet things You Write in Your [A] Letter
I wanta be with You, Dear, when [D] Told
BRIDGE
[A] Letters never Bring Me the [D] Touch of Your Hand
Or [E-7] none of Your Sweet Lovin' [A] Charms
I [D] get so Lonesome for You, [A] Darlin'
And You Know that LETTERS HAVE NO [D] ARMS
REPEAT CHORUS & BRIDGE
