Ricky Skaggs - Your Old Love Letters
(verse 1)
[E]Today I burned your old love letters,
I [B7]burned them gently one by [E]one,
[E]And as I light the flame I read it,
So [B7]I could see what you had d[E]one,[E7]
(chorus)
The [A]first you wrote me was the s[E]weetest,
[E]The last one broke my heart in [B7]two,
Our [E]love now lies among the embers,
In the [B7]ashes of your letter, I am [E]blue,
(lead chords - E - B7 - E - B7 - E - E7)
(verse 2 )
[E]As I burned your old love letters,
It [B7]brough back memories from the[E] past,
[E]It told about you and your new love,
A [B7]love I knew could never [E]last,[E7]
(chorus)
The [A]first you wrote me was the s[E]weetest,
[E]The last one broke my heart in [B7]two,
[E]As I light the flame I read it,
For [B7]I can say I still love [E]you,
Outro - E - B7 - E - B7 - E - E7
