Chords with lyrics

Album - Ricky Sings Again - 1959.

         (Capo 2nd fret.)

#1.
A augmentedA
I've been traveling over mountains,

even through the valleys, too.
               D MajorD
I've been traveling night and day,
        E MajorE              A augmentedA
running all the way, baby, trying to get to you.

#2.
A augmentedA
Ever since I read your letter,

where you said you loved me, true.
               D MajorD
I've been traveling night and day,
        E MajorE              A augmentedA  A7A7
running all the way, baby, trying to get to you.

CHORUS:
A7A7           D MajorD
When I read your lovin' letters..
            A augmentedA
then my heart began to sing.
            BB
there were many miles between us,
            E MajorE
but they didn't mean a thing.

(INTERLUDE:)

#3.
A augmentedA
Well, if I had to do it over..

that's exactly what I'd do.
           D MajorD
I'd travel night and day, and I'd still
      E MajorE              A augmentedA
run all the way, baby, trying to get to you.
              D MajorD
I kept traveling night and day,
        E MajorE              A augmentedA A7A7
running all the way, baby, trying to get to you.

CHORUS:
A7A7                D MajorD
Well, there's nothing that could hold me.
                A augmentedA
Or that could keep me away from you.
            BB
When your loving letter told me,
             E MajorE
that you really loved me, true.

#5.
E MajorE           A augmentedA
Lord above me knows I love you.

It was He who brought me through.
            D MajorD
When my way was darkest night,
               E MajorE
He would shine His brightest light,
              A augmentedA
When I was trying to get to you.


A augmentedA fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
