Am                                    F                   G                                      D
Give me a ticket for an aeroplane    Ain't got time to take a fast train
Am                                  F                   E                                        Am
Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home    Cause my baby just wrote me a letter
 
I don't care how much money I gotta spend    Got to get back to my baby again
Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home    My baby just wrote me a letter
 

                 C                  G                           F             C            G
Well she wrote me a letter    Said she couldn't live without me no more
C                      G.                           F               C                  G                             |  E
Listen mister can't you see    I got to get back to my baby once more    Anyway


Give me a ticket for an aeroplane    Ain't got time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home    Cause my baby just wrote me a letter
 

Well she wrote me a letter    Said she couldn't live without me no more
Listen mister can't you see    I got to get back to my baby once more.    Anyway

 
Give me a ticket for an aeroplane    Ain't got time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home    Cause my baby just wrote me a letter


                  E                                    Am
Cause my baby just wrote me a letter
