| Today I burned your old love letters |
| B7 | E | |
| I | burned them gently one by | one |
| E | |
| And as I light the flame I read it |
| B7 | E | E7 | |
| So | I could see what you had d | one |
| A | E | |
| The | first you wrote me was the | sweetest |
| E | B7 | |
| The last one broke my heart in | two |
| E | |
| Our | love now lies among the embers |
| B7 | E | |
| In the | ashes of your letter I am | blue |
| SOLO |
| E | |
| As I burned your old love letters |
| B7 | E | |
| It | brough back memories from the | past |
| E | |
| It told about you and your new love |
| B7 | E | E7 | |
| A | love I knew could never | last |
| A | E | |
| The | first you wrote me was the | sweetest |
| E | B7 | |
| The last one broke my heart in | two |
| E | |
| As I light the flame I read it |
| B7 | E | |
| For | I can say I still love | you |
