RETURN TO SENDER song by Otis Blackwell & Winfield Scott

(t) denotes tacet

[[C]] I gave a letter to the [[Am]] postman,

[[Dm]] he put in his [[G7]] sack.

[[C]] Bright and early next [[Am]] morning,

he [[Dm]] brought my [[G7]] letter [[C]] back.

(t) She wrote upon it.

[[F]] Return to [[G7]] sender, [[F]] address un-[[G7]] known,

[[F]] no such [[G7]] number, [[C]] no such zone. [[C7]]

[[F]] We had a [[G7]] quarrel, [[F]] a lovers [[G7]] spat.

[[D7]] I write I'm sorry but my letter keeps coming [[G7]] back.

[[C]] So then I dropped it in the [[Am]] mailbox,

[[C]] Bright and early next [[Am]] morning,

it [[Dm]] came right [[G7]] back to [[C]] me

(t) She wrote upon it.

[[F]] Return to [[G7]] sender, [[F]] address un-[[G7]] known,

[[F]] no such [[G7]] number, [[C]] no such zone. [[C7]]

[[F]] This time I'm gonna take it myself and put it right in her [[C]] hand.

And [[D7]] if it comes back the very next day,

[[G7]] (t) Then I'll understand the writing on it.

[[F]] Return to [[G7]] sender, [[F]] address un-[[G7]] known,

[[F]] no such [[G7]] number, [[C]] no such zone. [[F]] [[C]]
