Xavier Rudd - The Letter

      Letter   (Xavier Rudd)

Easier version. Just repeat Em C D Em

[Verse 1]
Em            C
I I sit by my window
     D               Em
With everything I've done
Em              C
Doors that I've opened
    D              Em
And webs that I've spun

        Em       C
And the candle beside me
   D            Em
it burns to the left
        Em          C
and the rain on the clay
          D              Em
sends the lizard to it's nest

     Em         C
will there be a time
            D        Em
when I will hold you again?
        Em          C
With my arms spread out
   D            Em
My chest you'll rest

         Em          C
And I'll write you a letter
     D            Em
With everything I know
          Em           C
’bout the weight of the world
        D                Em
And the way things could go

[Chorus]
        Em    C
So live up my friend
     D       Em
Step back again
    Em                  C
For some things will be given
    D                   Em
For some you'll have to bend
                Em      C
You’ ll have to bend my friend
        D      Em
To hold on to this
    Em                    C
For some things will come easy
    D              Em
And some will be a test
               Em      C   D   Em
You’ll have to bend

        Em             C
Now the ocean connects me
   D            Em
To everything I know
    Em           C
I’m mellowing my mind
      D             Em
So my heart, it can call

           Em          C
With these trees as my witness
     D             Em
I'll slice up some fruit
    Em           C
And each to their peaceful
       D            Em
good intentions and truth

           Em         C
There will be a time
          D          Em
when I'll hold you again
        Em          C
With my arms spread out
       D          Em
I will dive right in

[Verse 2]
       Em           C
So now here is your letter
     D            Em
With everything I know
         Em             C
’Bout the weight of the world
        D                Em
And the way things could go

[Chorus]
        Em    C
So live up my friend
     D       Em
Step back again
    Em                  C
For some things will be given
    D                   Em
For some you'll have to bend
                Em      C
You’ ll have to bend my friend
        D      Em
To hold on to this
    Em                    C
For some things will come easy
    D              Em
And some will be a test
               Em      C   D   Em
You’ll have to bend

        Em             C
Now the ocean connects me
