Loveletter - Nick Cave

Couldn't find a tab for this great song from the "No more shall we part"-album, so here
it is. Originally a song for piano, but it sounds good on an acoustic guitar as well,
especially if played fingerpicking-style to get the bass-notes. I've tabbed just the
chords - the piano plays a few notes different here and there. Listen to the record,
and enjoy!
Tuning: standard (To play along to the record, use a capo on the 1st fret).

Verse 1:
D D/F# G
I hold this letter in my hand

A plea, a petition, a kind of prayer

I hope it does as I have planned
Losing her again is more than I can bear
D D/F# G
I kiss the cold, white envelope

Two hundred words, we live in hope
The sky hangs heavy with rain

A wicked wind whips up the hill

A handful of hopeful words

I love her and I always will
The sky is ready to burst

Said something I did not mean to say

Say something I did not mean to say

Said something I did not mean to say
(D)
It all came out the wrong way
Chorus
Verse 3:
D D/F# G
Rain your kisses down upon me
D
Rain your kisses down in storm
D/F# G
And for all who'll come before me
In your slowly fading forms

I'm going out of my mind
D
Will leave me standing in the rain

with a letter and a prayer
G
Whispered in the wind

Come back to me

Come back to me

Oh, baby, please come back to me
