A E A A cowpoke rode in one hot dusty day A E To a store down in old San Antone D A He stood at the window and I heard him say E A Do I have a letter from home The postmaster looked through the mail that had come Then smilingly shook his grey head The cowpoke looked sadly a moment at him And these are the words that he said Chorus: A D A No letter from home, no letter from home A E There's never a letter from home A D A No message from Mother or none of the others A E A There's never a letter from home That night he was shot on the wrong side of town No more on those plains will he roam I reached for my Bible and gave it to him And said son here's your letter from home If only I had just a little more time To read it The young cowboy said I can't take it with me and I must go on Then he died with his letter unread Chorus: The letter from home, the letter from home No time for the letter from home The cowboy lay dead with his letter unread Too late for the letter from home | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  D  E  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
