Return to sender

Lag og texti: Winfield Scott / Otis Blackwell

 
 
 

C                               Am
I gave a letter to the postman;

Dm                   G
He put it in his sack.

C                                 Am
Bright and early next morning

      Dm             G       C
He brought my letter back.

 

                                F              G
She wrote upon it: Return to sender,

F                 G
Address unknown;

F            G            C                   C7
No such number, no such zone.

F               G          F              G
We had a quarrel, a lover's spat.

D7                                                                       G
I write "I'm sorry" but my letter keeps coming back.

 

C                                          Am
So then I dropped it in the mailbox

Dm                          G
And sent it Special D.

C                                        Am
Am Bright and early next morning

  Dm             G           C
It came right back to me.

 

                                F              G 
She wrote upon it: Return to sender,

F                 G          F            G            C                  C7 
Address unknown; no such number, no such zone.

F                                                              C
This time I'm gonna take it myself and put it right in her hand;

       D7                                                      G
And if it comes back the very next day, then I'll understand

                             F              G           F                G
Her writing on it: Return to sender, address unknown;

F             G           C                     C7
No such number, no such zone.

F             G             F                G          F            G
Return to sender, address unknown; No such number,
C
no such zone.
