A Letter Sung To Friends     Jerry Jeff Walker

(D5)    (D)    (D2)(D)
(Am) Thank you for (D7)being (C)beautiful in my (D)time,
(Am) That's something (D7)real to e(C)valuate all my (D)life.
For the (C)taste with (Em/B)which you (Am)choose
And (Dm/C)give your (Dm)life to, (Dm/C)  (Em7/B)  (Am)
You (C)gave me (Em/B)in the (Am)forms
Of (Dm/C)what you're (Dm)into. (Dm/C)  (Em7/B)  (Am)
You (Bb)stand above the (Gm)lifeless shells a(D7)round me
And (Bb)fill the empty(Gm)ness that almost (D7)drowns me,
As your (D)gift of (D/C#)you and (D/C)love
(B7)Finds me a(Gm)gain, (A)(hold) finds me a(D5)gain.  (D)    (D2)(D)

(Am) Our memories can (D7)show us the (C)value of our (D)time spent,
(Am) And if you've no (D7)memories, your (C)past has no e(D)xistence.
We (C)only (Em/B)need to (Am)live
This (Dm/C)life with (Dm)fullness, (Dm/C)  (Em7/B)  (Am)
With (C)days re(Em/B)membered (Am)clear
That (Dm/C)hold their (Dm)purpose, (Dm/C)  (Em7/B)  (Am)
De(Bb)void of wasting (Gm)time with those who (D7)fake it,
But (Bb)rather find some (Gm)truth, and not for(D7)sake it.
That'll (D)come with (D/C#)time that's (D/C)spent
In (B7)ove with (Gm)friends, (A)(hold) with (D5)friends.  (D)    (D2)(D)

(Am) So my life is (D7)better for (C)sharing your (D)richness,
(Am) And as I (D7)go on, it (C)calls me now don't you (D)waste this.
For (C)we're a (Em/B)part of (Am)all
That (Dm/C)we re(Dm)tain of, (Dm/C)  (Em7/B)  (Am)
The (C)good and (Em/B)bad, and (Am)how
We (Dm/C)make the (Dm)use of, (Dm/C)  (Em7/B)  (Am)
And (Bb)what we were be(Gm)fore becomes ex(D7)tended
In (Bb)everyone we (Gm)meet and how we (D7)spend it,
As it (D)all adds (D/C#)up to (D/C)what
Be(B7)comes the (Gm)depth, (A)(hold) the depth of our(D5)selves. .  (D)    (D2)(D)
