It was in the 1950s [G] and I was in the boys industrial school in [Am] Lancaster, Ohio.
My favorite singer at the time was Johnny Ace.
[G] One night I came in from my work assignment
[Bm]
and the guard told me that [A] Johnny Ace was [Am] dead.
He'd taken a gun and killed himself
[F#] and on the table [G] beside him they found a tape of a song that he had written [Am] moments before he died.
I've always wanted to sing that song but I was never [G] able to.
I think after all these years
that I'd like to try it to sing it for you, Johnny.
[D] I love [G] only you, just promise me darling, your love [D] in return,
make this fire in my soul dear, [G] forever burn.
[C] Our hearts at your command dear, [Cm] to keep loving the Lord,
[G] making you happy [Em] is my desire, [A] keeping you is [D] my goal, [G] I'll forever love you,
the rest [D] of my days I'll never part from, more [G] loving ways.

in more [G] loving ways.
This is my last letter, [D] end of song, my life is so miserable [G] I can't go on.
