Version 1
[Intro]
| D | D | D | D |
| A7 | A7 | D | D |
[Verse 1]
D
Today I burned, your old love letters
A7 D
Burned them gently, one by one
D
Before I'd light the flame, I'd read it
A7 D
To try and find the wrong I've done
[Chorus 1]
G D
The first you wrote me, was the sweetest
A7
The last one, broke my heart in two
D
Our love is there, among the embers
A7 D
Of the ashes, of your letters tied in blue
[Break]
| D | D | D | D |
| A7 | A7 | D | D |
[Verse 2]
D
Today I burned, your old love letters
A7 D
I watched our love, go up in smoke
D
I lived again, those precious mem'ries
A7 D
I heard, each tender word you spoke
[Chorus 2]
G D
The first you wrote me, was the sweetest
A7
The last one said, that we were through
D
Our love is there, among the embers
A7 D
Of the ashes, of your letters tied in blue
