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).

Intro:
D D G G x4
Verse 1:
[D]I hold this let[D/F#]ter in my ha[G]nd
A plea, a petition, a kind of pr[D]ayer
I hope it does[D/F#] as I have plan[G]ned
Losing her again is more than I can bear
[D]I kiss the co[D/F#]ld, white envelo[G]pe
I press my lips against her na[D]me
Two hundred w[D/F#]ords, we live in hope[G]
The sky hangs heavy with rain
Chorus:
[D]Love let[D/F#]ter, Love lette[G]r
[D]Go get he[D/F#]r, go get h[G]er
[D]Love let[D/F#]ter, love letter[G]
[D]Go tell [D/F#]her, go tell[A] her
Verse 2:
[D]A wicked w[D/F#]ind whips up the hil[G]l
A handful of hopeful wo[D]rds
I love her an[D/F#]d I always [G]will
The sky is ready to burst
[D]Said something I d[D/F#]id not mean to s[G]ay
Say something I did not mean to s[D]ay
Said something I d[D/F#]id not mean to say[G]
It all came out the wrong [(D)]way
Chorus
Verse 3:
[D]Rain your ki[D/F#]sses down upon me[G]
Rain your kisses down in sto[D]rm
And for [D/F#]all who'll come before m[G]e
In your slowly fading forms
[D]I'm going o[D/F#]ut of my min[G]d
Will leave me standing i[D]n the rain
with a let[D/F#]ter and a prayer[G]
[G]Whispered in the wind
Outro:
[A]Come back to [G]me
[A]Come back to m[G]e
[A]Oh, baby, ple[G]ase come ba[A]ck to m[D]e
