Tear Stained Letter Live by Richard Thompson Guitar Chords

[Intro]
D   G   D   G   C   F

[Verse 1]
       D
It was three in the morning when she took me apart
     G
She wrecked the furniture, she wrecked my heart
     D
She danced on my head like Arthur Murray
    G
The scars ain't never going to mend in a hurry
C
Just when I thought I could learn to forget her
F
Right through the door come a tear-stained letter

[Chorus]
A       A#
Oh, oh, oh love love
C
Cry, cry if it makes you feel better
F
Set it all down in a tear-stained letter

A       A#
Oh, oh, oh love love love
C
Cry, cry if it makes you feel better
F
Set it all down in a tear-stained letter

[Verse 2]
         D
Well my head was beating like a song by the Clash
        G
It was writing cheques that my body couldn't cash
D
Got to my feet, I was reeling and dizzy
G
I went for the 'phone but the line was busy
C
Just when I thought that things would get better
F
Right through the door come a tear-stained letter

[Chorus]
A       A#
Oh, oh, oh love love
C
Cry, cry if it makes you feel better
F
Set it all down in a tear-stained letter

A       A#
Oh, oh, oh love love love
C
Cry, cry if it makes you feel better
F
Set it all down in a tear-stained letter

[Verse 3]
D
Well I like coffee and I like tea
G
But I just don't like this fiddle-di-dee
D
It makes me nervous, it gives me the hives
G
Waiting for a kiss from a bunch of fives
C
Just when I think I could learn to forget her
F
Right through the door come a tear-stained letter

[Chorus]
A       A#
Oh, oh, oh love love
C
Cry, cry if it makes you feel better
F
Set it all down in a tear-stained letter

Oh, oh, oh love love love
C
Cry, cry if it makes you feel better
F
Set it all down in a tear-stained letter

A       A#
Oh, oh, oh love love love
C
Cry, cry if it makes you feel better
F
Set it all down in a tear-stained letter
