[Verse 1]
                         C7
Looking through old love letters
                            F
That once made me happy and gay
                    C
But now my heart is breaking
        G7            C7
For the love of yesterday

[Chorus 1]
F             Db       F
Reading those old love letters
                  C7
Recalls to me memories
Gm        A7            Dm
Faded and gone from the picture
Dm7   G7               C7
 Just like by gone melodies

[Chorus 2]
F                   Db       F
Though they're just old love letters
             D7        Gm
Tied up in a string of blue
    Bbm                F           D7
The pages recall, when you were my all
     G7            C7          F
Love letters bring mem'ries of you

[Verse 2]
                     C7
You said goodbye, we parted
                          F
And now I am lonesome and blue
                   C
You left me broken hearted
           G7                 C7
With these letters, dear from you

[Chorus 1]
F       C     Db       F
Reading those old love letters
                  C7
Recalls to me memories
Gm        A7            Dm
Faded and gone from the picture
     G7               C7
Just like by gone melodies

[Chorus 2]
F                   Db       F
Though they're just old love letters
             D7        Gm
Tied up in a string of blue
    Bbm                F           D7
The pages recall, when you were my all
     G7            C7          F
Love letters bring mem'ries of you
