Ricky Skaggs - Your Old Love Letters

                                               


(verse 1)
E
Today I burned your old love letters,
  B7                        E 
I burned them gently one by one,
E
And as I  light the flame I read it,
   B7                        E    E7
So I could see what you had done,


(chorus)
    A                           E
The first you wrote me was the sweetest,
E                              B7
The last one broke my heart in two,
    E
Our love now lies among the embers,
       B7                          E
In the ashes  of your letter, I am blue,


(lead chords - E - B7 - E - B7 - E - E7)


(verse 2 )
E
As I burned your old love letters,
   B7                           E   
It brough back memories from the past,
E
It told about you and your new love, 
  B7                      E     E7
A love I knew could never last,



(chorus)
    A                           E
The first you wrote me was the sweetest,
E                              B7
The last one broke my heart in two,
E 
As I light the flame I read it,
    B7                     E
For I can say I still love you,
