  I figured this out a few min's ago and just had to post it, as it is a

  brillant song, one of my favorites. 

  The whole song has only two chords, but I don't know their names. These

  chords are: 007760 (I'll call it a "Am") and 007780 (I'll call it "Asus4").

  

  Artist: Kristin Hersh

  Song: The Letter

  Album: Hips And Makers

  

  Intro:Am, Asus4 x 2

  

               Am   Asus4

  September 29, 1984. Dear so and so

  Am                        Asus4

    Gather me up because I'm lost

          Am

  Or am I back where I started from

       Asus4                            Am

  I'm crawling on the floor rolling on the ground

          Asus4            Am       Asus4

  I might cry,  I won't go home 

  

        Am          

  I am turning up in circles

            Asus4                 

  And I'm spinning on my knuckles

         Am                           Asus4

  Don't forget there are circles left undone 

            Am

  And very close to me

         Asus4      Am

  Forgive me, comfort me  

       Asus4                            Am             Asus4

  I'm crawling on the floor, rolling on the ground 

  

  There's a blanket wrapped around my head

  I'm moving in a line that's shaped like this 

  I'm...I'm holding in my breath

  I have a room 

  Can you tell if I am lying

  Don't forget I'm living inside the space where walls and floor meet

  There's a box inside my chest 

  An animal stuffed with my frustrations

  Can you hear me?

  

  Don;t forget that I'm alone when you're away

  You make me act like another people, do forgive me

  Comfort me, you comfort me, you make me cry 

  I'm gonna cry, I won't go home

  

  Doooooooooonnnnnnn't kill the god of sadness 

  Just don't let her get you down

  See the man inside a book I read can't handle his own head

  So what the hell am I supposed to do?

  I wonder how he died

  My hands are shaking, don't you love me anymore

  I only need a person, keep my shoulders

  Stand around, lie down, move your hand above the floor

  

  (softer)

  Gather me up because I'm lost

  Or am I back where I started from

  I'm crawling on the floor, rolling on the ground

  I'm gonna cry, you look for me

  

  Love Kristin

  P.S. Keep them coming

  

  I'm not sure if it's right, but it sounds alot like it. 

  Mail me at: rose@sprintlink.co.za if you have the proper version or if you

  have any other Kristin Hersh songs from her album Hips And Makers (besides

  the songs already on the OLGA).
