CAPO 1
 
 
D
Why don't you write me, 
 
   |
I'm out in the jungle,
 
   |E                  |  |
I'm hungry to hear you. 
 
A7
Send me a card, 
 
    |
I am waiting so hard
 
     |Bm     |F#m |
To be near yo-ou. 
 
D     |G        |
  (La, la, la) 
 
             |D
Why don't you write? 
 
            |
Something is wrong
 
                   |E7       |  |
And I know I got to be there. 
 
A7
Maybe I'm lost, 
 
     |
But I can't make the cost
 
      |Bm      |F#m |D
Of the airfare, ooh 
 
        |G        |
 Tell me why, why, why 
 
       |A        |   |
Tell me why, why, why 
 
 
D
Why don't you write me, 
 
 |
A letter would brighten
 
  |E                  |  |
My loneliest evening. 
 
A7
Mail it today 
 
       |
If it's only to say
 
           |Bm         |F#m |
That you're Ieaving me, oo 
 
D     |G      |D  |D7 |
  (La, la, la) 
 
 
G7                                |
Monday morning, sitting in the sun 
 
                                       |
Hoping and wishing for the mail to come
 
D                         |D7 |
Tuesday, never got a word, mmm. 
 
G7                                 |
Wednesday, Thursday, ain't no sign, 
 
                                |
Drank a half a bottle of iodine.
 
D
Friday, woe is me 
 
   |D7                        |G           |
I'm gonna hang my body from the highest tree. 
 
 
              |D
 Why don't you write me? 
 
              |G
 Why don't you write me? 
 
              |D
 Why don't you write me?
