Letter To Heaven Chords by Dolly Parton

_ _ [E] An old man was sitting [A] at his table [E] one day, [A] _ writing [E] a letter [F#] to pass [B] time away.
_ [D#] _
[E] His little _ granddaughter [A] climbed up on his [E] knee, _
[A] saying,
Won't you [E] please write [B] a letter [E] for me?
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C#] _ [Em] Oh, what will [E] I say in [A] this letter, [E] I pray?
[A] Tell Mommy [E] I miss her [F#] since she [B] went _ away,
[D#] And [E] I'm coming to see [A] her real soon, [E] I hope.
[A] He choked [E] back a big lump [B] that rose in his throat.
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ [C#m] _ _ [E] _ _ _
I've heard [A] the little [E] girl said,
[A] And I pray [E] every evening [F#] before I go [B] to _ bed,
[D#] _
[E] That God up there _ _ [A] will answer [E] my prayer,
[A] And take me [E] to live with [B] my Mommy up _ _ [E] there. _ _ _ _
_ _ He sealed it and wrote on [A] that big _
[E] envelope,
[A] To God up [E] in Heaven, [F#] you'll get this, [B] I hope.
_ [D#] _
[E] He stamped it and handed [A] it to her [E] to mail.
[A] Her big eyes [E] were shining, [B] her little face [E] pale.
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ She was crossing the street to [A] the box [E] or the way,
_ [A] When she [E] stepped out, [F#] never looked [B] either _ way.
[D#] _
[E] A big auto hit her [A] and sped [E] away fast,
[A] The little [E] girl's prayers [B] had been answered [E] at _ last. _ _ _ _
_ _ The postman was passing [A] and picked up [E] the note,
[A] _ Addressed to [E] the Master, [F#] and these [B] words he spoke,
_ [D#] _
[E] Straight up into Heaven [A] this letter did [E] go.
[A] She's happy [E] up there with [B] her Mommy, I [E] know.
