Chord/Tab song: Whoever Finds This, I Love You

WHOEVER FINDS THIS, I LOVE YOU
Mac Davis

[(D)] [(D)] [(D)] [(D)]
On A(D)quiet street in the(C)city,

A(G)little old man walks A((ch)A (/ch))lone, (D)Shuffling through the(G)Autumn after(A)noon.
[(A)]

And the(D)Autumn leaves re(C)minded him, another(G)summer's come and(Bb)gone.

He had A(D)long, lonely night A(G)head, waitin' for(A)June. (A)

Then A(D)mong the leaves, near an(C)orphans' home, A piece of(G)paper caught his(A)eye,

And he(D)stooped to pick it(G)up with trembling(A)hands. (A)

And as he(D)read the childish(C)writing, the(Em)old man began to(Bb-Gm)cry,

'Cause the(D)words burned in(G)side him, like A(A)brand. (A)

(D)"Whoever(G)finds this, I(Em)love you!" (A)

(Em)"Whoever(A)finds this, I(D)need you!" (D)

(G)"I ain't even(Bm)got no one to(D)talk(E)to!" (E)

"So,(Em)Whoever(A)finds this, I(D)love you!" (Dm)
[(G)] [(D)] [(A)][(A)]

The(D)old man's eyes searched the or(C)phans' home,

And came to(G)rest upon A(A)child

with her(D)nose pressed up A(G)gainst the window(A)pane. (A)

And the(D)old man knew he'D found A(C)friend, at last,

So he(G)waved at her and(Bb)smiled.

And they(D)both knew they'd spend the(G)Winter, laughing at the(A)rain. (A)

(Spoken)
(D)And they did spend the Winter,(C)laughing at the rain,

(G)talking through the fence,(A)exchanging little gifts they'd made for each other.

(D)The old man would carve toys for the little(G)girl,

and she would draw pictures for(A)him of beautiful ladies

sur(A)rounded by green trees and sunshine,

(D)and they laughed(G)A lot. (A) (A)

(Em)But then on the first day of June,

the(A)little girl ran to the fence to show the(D)man a picture she had drawn,

(Dm)but he wasn't there

(G)And somehow, the little girl knew(Bm)he wasn't coming back. (Bm7)

So she(D)went back to her little room,(E)took out a crayola and a piece of paper,

and(E)wrote: (4Beat Rest)

(sung)

(D)"Whoever(Gbm)finds this, I(Em)love you!" (A)

(Em)"Whoever (A)finds this, I(D)need you!" (D)

(G)"I ain't even(Bm)got no one to(D)talk(E)to." (E)

"So,(Em)Whoever(A)finds this, I(D)love you!" (D)
"Oh, Whoe[Em]ver (A)finds this,(hold 2 bars)I(D)love you!" (Dm)
