D                     A 
I got your letter the other day 
       Bm                             G 
At the mission downtown where they're letting me stay 
D            A                      G                     A 
A smile ran across my face when you said you were doin' alright 

D           A 
No paper to write you back 
         Bm                        G 
Hope you don't mind reading from a fast food sack 
D                         A                 
I'm gettin tired, but I'm gettin on track 
      G                             A 
Yeah I never would've thought you'd write 
 


[Refrão]
 
     G                  A 
Well I've been high and I've been low 
D          D/C#       Bm 
And that's just about all I know 
D            A                  G            A           D 
These lonely winds they blow so hard I might never drift home

D              A 
Restaurant out in Bellaire 
Bm                  G 
I been working as a bus boy there 
D              A             
Cleaned up and cut my hair 
       G                          A 
Yeah I bet you wouldn't recognize me 

D                  A 
Thank you for that money you sent 
      Bm                      G 
I was gonna put it toward the first month's rent 
     D                  A                 
When I hit trouble that money got spent 
         G                     A 
Yeah you might still recognize me 
 


[Refrão]
 
     G                  A 
Well I've been high and I've been low 
D          D/C#       Bm 
And that's just about all I know 
D            A                  G            A           D 
These lonely winds they blow so hard I might never drift home

G 
I thank God I'm one day older 
D 
And I can bear this weight I shoulder 
C               G                       A 
Most folks they don't stay sober 'round here mmm

Momma don't mind and Daddy don't care 
D                A                  G                A
