A Love Letter

[Verse 1]
G                C
Dear old tree in my front yard
G                  D
thank you for your shade
G                             C
your leaves are speckled with streaming rays of sun
G                                  D
and I love the rustling noise they make
 
[Pre-chorus 1]
    C
The swing on your branch
      G
is my favorite spot
        C
And I'm sorry for the steps we nailed
Em        D
into your bark
 
[Chorus]
G             C
I'll love you forever
G                  Em
yes, I'll love you still
G                       Em
I'll love you more than any man
      Em      D      G
Oh, I promise that I will.
 
[Verse 2]
G                      C
Dear old chickens that wander through my yard
G                                    D
Thank you for the eggs that you have laid
G                              C
Oh their blue/green shells are speckled with dirt
G                                  D
but I love the cracking sound they make
 
[Pre-chorus 2]
      C
While chasing you is something
        G
I admit I've done a lot
        C
I could never steam or fry you
Em              D
or put you in a pot
 
[Chorus]
G                  C
Yes, I'll love you forever
G                  Em
Yes, I'll love you still
G                           Em
Oh, I'll love you more than any man
      Em      D      G
Oh, I promise that I will.
 
[Verse 3]
G                     C
Dear old house that I grew up in
G                   D
I miss you when I'm gone
G                 C
The dog hair on my sofa
G                                  D
and the light through my window at dawn
 
[Pre-chorus 3]
         C
While I know at times it seems that I am
G
far away
C
I'll be home for thanksgiving
       Em        D
and on christmas day
 
[Chorus]
G                  C
Yes, I'll love you forever
G                  Em
Yes, I'll love you still
G                           Em
Oh, I'll love you more than any man
    Em      D G
Oh, forever I will.
