TITLE: Return to Sender
Lyrics and Chords


Return to sender, return to sender

/ C - Am - Dm - G7 - /

I gave a letter to the post man
He put it his sack
Bright and early next morning
He brought my letter back

/ C - Am - / Dm - G7 - / 1st / Dm G7 C - /

{Refrain}
She wrote upon it return to sender
Address unknown
No such number  
No such zone

/ F - G7 - / / / C - - C7 /

We had a quarrel
A lovers' spat
I'd write "I'm sorry" 
But my letter keeps coming back

/ F - G7 - / / D7 - - - / - - G7 - /

So when I dropped it in the mailbox
I sent it "Special D"
Bright and early next morning 
It came right back to me

{Refrain}

... / C - C7 C / 

This time I'm gonna take it myself 
And put it right in her hand
And if it comes back the very next day
Then I'll understand

/ F - - - / - - C - / D7 - - - / G7 - - - /

The writing on it...
{Refrain}
