Letter In The Rain Chords & Lyrics - Paul Kelly

[VERSE 1]
The [C]morning bright an[Am]d still has lai[C]d a frost across t[Am]he hill
And the [C]glory of it[F] takes my brea[C]th away
[C]The birdsong in t[Am]he tr[C]ees floating on the ghost[Am] of a breeze
Says, You're [C]lucky to be [F]a creature al[C]ive today
[C]The rosy-fingere[G]d dawn is changi[F]ng colour in [C]the east
[C]Like in ancient days we[F]'ll never [G]see again

[CHORUS]
[C]Once we were to[Am]get[C]her, that I do r[Am]emember
All the [C]rest is like [F]a letter in [C]the rain

[VERSE 2]
[C]So I go to check m[Am]y snares, see [C]what night caug[Am]ht unawares
[C]I take the path[F] along the cre[C]ek again
[C]In the garden of [Am]delight[C] , a snake slithered[Am] into sight
[C]So we left Eden an[F]d headed for [C]the plain
[C]Day by day an[G]d night by night, [F]she didn't leav[C]e my side
[C]Now she never wants t[F]o see my fa[G]ce again

[CHORUS]
[C]Once we spoke in love's lo[Am]w tongue, all [C]the bells at mid[Am]night rung
All the [C]rest is like [F]a letter in [C]the rain

[BRIDGE]
[Dm]There's [Em]a river somewh[F]ere up aroun[G]d the bend
[Dm]When it[Em] hurts, that rive[F]r's always be[G]en my friend

[C] [G] [F] [C] [C] [F] [G]
[C] [G] [F] [C] [C] [F] [G]

[VERSE 3]
[C]The frost has gone no[G]w from the hill, lik[F]e a vision in a[C] dream
[C]You never know when[F] glory will co[G]me again

[CHORUS]
[C]I remember her dark[Am] stare and[C] a braid of nut-b[Am]rown hair
All the [C]rest is just a[F] letter in t[C]he rain
