i dont believe the song is in G. Pretty much everything jimmie did was in C. Try it this way.


Oh, ley-he-ee, ah-le-oh-lay-he-he
D'yo-del-ay-he-he, d'yo-del-ay-hee.


[C]I just received your letter.
You're [F]down-and-out, you [G]say.

At [D]first I thought I would tell you
to tra[G]vel on the other way.[G7]

But [C]in my memory lingers
all you [C7]once were to [F]me.

I'm going to (Am)give you an[C]other [A7]chance
to [G7]prove what you can [C]be.

Any old ti[C]me
You want to [G7]come back [C]home,[C7]

Dr[F]op me a line
and say no [G7]mo' you'll [C]roam.

Y[G]ou had your cha[G7]nce
to pl[F]ay the game f[D]ir.

But [D]When you left me, sweet[D7]heart,
you on[G]ly left a load of ca[G7]re.

N[C]ow that(D7) you're (G)down,
I'm [F]gonna to stick by [C]you.

If [D]you will only tell (A7)me
your roam[G]ing days are thr(D7)ough.

Yo[C]u'll find me here,
like the day you le[C7]ft me al[F]one

Any old ti[C]me [G7]
you want to come back ho[C]me.

Oh, ley-he-ee, ah-le-oh-lay-he-he
D'yo-del-ay-he-he, d'yo-del-ay-hee.
