Letter From a Friend                                Blues Traveller

Intro:  | G /  /  / | D / C(9) / :||

VERSE 1:
G                          D              C(9)
Never a day goes by when I can't see his face
G                                      D               C(9)
And I can hear a thundering voice that no one will replace
G                                            D             C(9)
But since he left you've been hiding out and I can't understand
G                                             D            C(9)
It seems to me about that time you should be coming back again

PRE-CHORUS 1:
C(9)           G/B        Gm/Bb     A
I can feel the pain that won't go away
C(9)                   G/B               A             D
We can't change that he left us but it's up to you to stay

CHORUS:
C(9)                        G
And I will make sense of it all
C(9)                           G
Gonna try to make sense of it all
C(9)                                  G
You ask me why, 'cause it's all I can do
           C(9)           A          D
I miss him every day but now I miss you

VERSE 2:
I know it hurts right now but you've got to keep moving on
And I know how good it can feel when you're safe and withdrawn
But he can live in a memory and you don't yet have that choice
'Cause you're still here and to speak to me you're gonna have to
     use your voice

PRE-CHORUS 2:
I ain't telling you what's right
And I ain't telling you what's wrong
But it's he who has died
And it's you who has gone

CHORUS

SOLO

VERSE 3:
G                                   D                *D
I know you're thinking now you must go through this alone
          Am           D
But it's time to come home

PRE-CHORUS 1

CHORUS to fade

* listen to the song for this, it differs from the other verses
