--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Loveletter - Nick Cave --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Frank Email: frankmagnussen@hotmail.com Couldn't find a tab for this great song from the "No more shall we part"-album, so here it is. Originally a song for piano, but it sounds good on an acoustic guitar as well, especially if played fingerpicking-style to get the bass-notes. I've tabbed just the chords - the piano plays a few notes different here and there. Listen to the record, and enjoy! Tuning: standard (To play along to the record, use a capo on the 1st fret). (Chords relative to capo) D: x00232 D/F#: 200232 (use your thumb to play F# on the E-string) G: 320033 A: x02220 Intro: D D G G x4 Verse 1:

^DI hold this let^D/F#ter in my ha^Gnd A plea, a petition, a kind of pr^Dayer I hope it does^D/F# as I have plan^Gned

Losing her again is more than I can bear

^DI kiss the co^D/F#ld, white envelo^Gpe I press my lips against her na^Dme Two hundred w^D/F#ords, we live in hope^G

The sky hangs heavy with rain Chorus:

^DLove let^D/F#ter, Love lette^Gr ^DGo get he^D/F#r, go get h^Ger ^DLove let^D/F#ter, love letter^G ^DGo tell ^D/F#her, go tell^A her

Verse 2:

^DA wicked w^D/F#ind whips up the hil^Gl A handful of hopeful wo^Drds I love her an^D/F#d I always ^Gwill

The sky is ready to burst

^DSaid something I d^D/F#id not mean to s^Gay Say something I did not mean to s^Day Said something I d^D/F#id not mean to say^G (D) It all came out the wrong way

Chorus Verse 3:

^DRain your ki^D/F#sses down upon me^G Rain your kisses down in sto^Drm And for ^D/F#all who'll come before m^Ge

In your slowly fading forms

^DI'm going o^D/F#ut of my min^Gd Will leave me standing i^Dn the rain with a let^D/F#ter and a prayer^G ^GWhispered in the wind

Outro:

^ACome back to ^Gme ^ACome back to m^Ge ^AOh, baby, ple^Gase come ba^Ack to m^De
