                  (Capo 2nd fret.)

#1.
A
I've been traveling over mountains,

even through the valleys, too.
                              D
I've been traveling night and day,
                E                           A   
running all the way, baby, trying to get to you.

#2.
A
Ever since I read your letter,

where you said you loved me, true.
                              D
I've been traveling night and day,
                E                           A   A7
running all the way, baby, trying to get to you.

CHORUS:
A7                      D
When I read your lovin' letters..
                       A
then my heart began to sing.
                        B
there were many miles between us,
                       E
but they didn't mean a thing.

(INTERLUDE:)

#3.
A
Well, if I had to do it over..

that's exactly what I'd do.
                     D
I'd travel night and day, and I'd still 
            E                           A
run all the way, baby, trying to get to you.
                           D
I kept traveling night and day,
                E                           A  A7
running all the way, baby, trying to get to you.

CHORUS:
A7                               D
Well, there's nothing that could hold me.
                                A
Or that could keep me away from you.
                        B
When your loving letter told me,
                          E
that you really loved me, true.

#5.
E                     A
Lord above me knows I love you.

It was He who brought me through.
                        D
When my way was darkest night, 
                             E
He would shine His brightest light,
                            A
When I was trying to get to you.
