Chords for The Letter - By Doug Church - Williamstown H.S., New Jersey 2010.mp4

Up in his dressing room, up in his hotel room once in a while, on a piece of paper he would write down his thoughts on a notepad.
_ _ And the legend has it that one [B] time after writing down his [N] thoughts, he crumbled up a piece of paper and threw it in the waste can.
Well the lady who came in to clean the room the next day found it, and for many years it was gone and then it resurfaced.
I think [G] she sold it or auctioned it or something like [E] that.
And it caught the attention of Wayne Newton.
_ _ [B] And he saw this letter and it touched him so greatly [Bb] that he actually wrote a song about it.
[Bm] And a lot of it is about what was in that letter, you know. _ _
And that's the name of the song.
It's called, The [D] Letter.
