 WHOEVER FINDS THIS, I LOVE YOU
          Mac Davis

(D MajorD)   (D MajorD)   (D MajorD)    (D MajorD)

On a(D MajorD)quiet street in the(C majorC)city,

a(G+G)little old man walks a(A augmentedA)lone,

(D MajorD)Shuffling through the(G+G)Autumn after(A augmentedA)noon. (A augmentedA)

And the(D MajorD)Autumn leaves re(C majorC)minded him,

another(G+G)summer's come and(Bb majorBb)gone.

He had a(D MajorD)long, lonely night a(G+G)head,

waitin' for(A augmentedA)June.  (A augmentedA)

Then a(D MajorD)mong the leaves, near an(C majorC)orphans' home,

a piece of(G+G)paper caught his(A augmentedA)eye,

And he(D MajorD)stooped to pick it(G+G)up

with trembling(A augmentedA)hands.   (A augmentedA)

And as he(D MajorD)read the childish(C majorC)writing,

the(E minorEm)old man began to(Bb-Gm)cry,

'Cause the(D MajorD)words burned in(G+G)side him,

like a(A augmentedA)brand.        (A augmentedA)


(D MajorD)"Whoever(G+G)finds this, I(E minorEm)love you!"    (A augmentedA)

(E minorEm)"Whoever(A augmentedA)finds this, I(D MajorD)need you!"    (D MajorD)

(G+G)"I ain't even(B minorBm)got no one to(D MajorD)talk(E MajorE)to!" (E MajorE)

"So,(E minorEm)Whoever(A augmentedA)finds this, I(D MajorD)love you!"   (DmDm)

 (G+G)      (D MajorD)       (A augmentedA)        (A augmentedA)

The(D MajorD)old man's eyes searched the or(C majorC)phans' home,

And came to(G+G)rest upon a(A augmentedA)child


with her(D MajorD)nose pressed up a(G+G)gainst

the window(A augmentedA)pane.          (A augmentedA)

And the(D MajorD)old man knew he'd found a(C majorC)friend, at last,

So he(G+G)waved at her and(Bb majorBb)smiled.

And they(D MajorD)both knew they'd spend the(G+G)Winter,

laughing at the(A augmentedA)rain.       (A augmentedA)


                 (Spoken)
(D MajorD)And they did spend the Winter,

(C majorC)laughing at the rain,

(G+G)talking through the fence,

(A augmentedA)exchanging little gifts they'd made for each other.


(D MajorD)The old man would carve toys for the little(G+G)girl,

and she would draw pictures for(A augmentedA)him of

beautiful ladies sur(A augmentedA)rounded by green trees and sunshine,

(D MajorD)and they laughed(G+G)a lot. (A augmentedA)    (A augmentedA)


(E minorEm)But then on the first day of June,

the(A augmentedA)little girl ran to the fence

to show the(D MajorD)man a picture she had drawn,

(DmDm)but he wasn't there.

(G+G)And somehow, the little girl knew

(B minorBm)he wasn't coming back. (Bm7Bm7)


So she(D MajorD)went back to her little room,

(E MajorE)took out a crayola and a piece of paper,

and(E MajorE)wrote: (4Beat Rest)


 (Sung)

(D MajorD)"Whoever(GbmGbm)finds this, I(E minorEm)love you!"    (A augmentedA)

(E minorEm)"Whoever (A augmentedA)finds this, I(D MajorD)need you!"    (D MajorD)

(G+G)"I ain't even(B minorBm)got no one to(D MajorD)talk(E MajorE)to." (E MajorE)

"So,(E minorEm)Whoever(A augmentedA)finds this, I(D MajorD)love you!"   (D MajorD)


"Oh, Whoever(A augmentedA)finds this,(hold 2 bars)

I(D MajorD)love you!"  (DmDm)

(G+G)   (D MajorD)   (A augmentedA)   (A augmentedA)   (fade out on "A" chords)
