Chord/Tab song: Tryin' to Get to You

Album - Ricky Sings Again - 1959.

(Capo 2nd fret.)

#1.
[A]I've been traveling over mountains,

even through the valleys, too.
I've been traveling night and [D]day,
running all the [E]way, baby, trying to get to [A]you.

#2.
[A]Ever since I read your letter,

where you said you loved me, true.
I've been traveling night and [D]day,
running all the [E]way, baby, trying to get to [A]you.[A7]

CHORUS:
[A7]When I read your lovin' [D]letters..
then my heart began to [A]sing.
there were many miles be[B]tween us,
but they didn't mean a [E]thing.

(INTERLUDE:)

#3.
[A]Well, if I had to do it over..

that's exactly what I'd do.
I'd travel night and [D]day, and I'd still
run all the [E]way, baby, trying to get to [A]you.
I kept traveling night and [D]day,
running all the [E]way, baby, trying to get to [A]you[A7].

CHORUS:
[A7]Well, there's nothing that could [D]hold me.
Or that could keep me away from [A]you.
When your loving letter [B]told me,
that you really loved me, [E]true.

#5.
[E]Lord above me knows I [A]love you.

It was He who brought me through.
When my way was darkest [D]night,
He would shine His brightest [E]light,
When I was trying to get to [A]you.

A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
