--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Loveletter - Nick Cave --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Frank Email: [email protected] Couldn't find a tab for this great song from the "No more shall we part"-album, so here it is. Originally a song for piano, but it sounds good on an acoustic guitar as well, especially if played fingerpicking-style to get the bass-notes. I've tabbed just the chords - the piano plays a few notes different here and there. Listen to the record, and enjoy! Tuning: standard (To play along to the record, use a capo on the 1st fret). (Chords relative to capo) D: x00232 D/F#: 200232 (use your thumb to play F# on the E-string) G: 320033 A: x02220 Intro: D D G G x4 Verse 1: D D/F# G I hold this letter in my hand D A plea, a petition, a kind of prayer D/F# G I hope it does as I have planned Losing her again is more than I can bear D D/F# G I kiss the cold, white envelope D I press my lips against her name D/F# G Two hundred words, we live in hope The sky hangs heavy with rain Chorus: D D/F# G Love letter, Love letter D D/F# G Go get her, go get her D D/F# G Love letter, love letter D D/F# A Go tell her, go tell her Verse 2: D D/F# G A wicked wind whips up the hill D A handful of hopeful words D/F# G I love her and I always will The sky is ready to burst D D/F# G Said something I did not mean to say D Say something I did not mean to say D/F# G Said something I did not mean to say (D) It all came out the wrong way Chorus Verse 3: D D/F# G Rain your kisses down upon me D Rain your kisses down in storm D/F# G And for all who'll come before me In your slowly fading forms D D/F# G I'm going out of my mind D Will leave me standing in the rain D/F# G with a letter and a prayer G Whispered in the wind Outro: A G Come back to me A G Come back to me A G A D Oh, baby, please come back to me
