CAPO: 4th Fret 



Intro: G  

                                  C 
One by one my teardrops fall as I write to you 
       D                              G 
One by one my dreams are fading fast away 
                                        C 
One by one my hopes keep docking in the twilight 
       D                                G      D 
One by one my words come falling on the page 


Chorus: 
                      G             D 
One by one my hair is turning grey 
                         G                  D 
One by one my dreams are fading fast away 
                       G             D 
One by one I read your letters over 
                           G     D   G 
One by one I lay them all away 


                                  C 
One by one my flowers are fading in the sunrise 
       D                                   G 
One by one the leaves keep falling from my trees 
                                         C 
One by one these wrinkles feel across my brow, dear 
       D                               G      
One by one my snowflakes tumble in the breeze 


                                         C 
One by one my years of youth are passing by me 
       D                                G 
One by one the sweetest days of life go by 
                                   C 
One by one the hours slipping up behind you 
       D                           G      
One by one she'll find not you and I

One by one my dreams are fading fast away 
                       G             D 
One by one I read your letters over 
                           G     D   G 
One by one I lay them all away 


                                   C 
One by one I hear your sweet voice whisper 
       D                            G 
One by one I feel your kisses on my cheek 
                                          C 
One by one I hope you'll say the words to marry 
       D                             G      
One by one, one by one we'll forever be

One by one I read your letters over 
                           G    
One by one I lay them all away
