The Note In Box Number 9

[Intro ]
C   G7   C 

 
            C           G7           C7           F 
I just came home from a trip where I sang in Minnesota 
          C         D7     G7 
On to the Grand Ole Opry tonight 
             C            G7       C7            F 
And from the stage in the audience I will see my baby 
    C       G7          C 
And later I hold her so tight 
 

 
           C         G7           C7         F 
I miss her so on the road so I'll ask her to marry 
      C            D7            G7 
And I'll take her along the next time 
            C          G7         C7                 F 
It feels so good to be back but before the show goes on 
               C           G7         C    C7 
I'll check the fan mail in Box Number 9 
 

 
       F                  C 
But in Box Number 9 was a note 
                  G7 
In a tear stained letter 
        G7            C 
And the note says goodbye 
           C        G7               C7           F 
I'll never see her again, all that's left to call mine 
       C       G7         C 
Is the note in Box Number 9

Outro 
C  G7  C7        F 
          (Well, there's her empty seat) 
C                      G7 
  (I guess there'll be no one out there) 
                       C 
(To sing my love songs to anymore) 
          F                     C 
She needs someone to love every day 
                     G7 
So she found someone new 
          G7           C 
Who won't leave her to cry
