[Verse 1]
B
 Does your mother know
    E             G#m
You had to go someday
B
 Does your mother know
     A            E   D
That you would go so fast
E              G#m     D
Anyway, that's all you think about
      E                F#
You'd call her if you could

[Chorus]
        Bm                 G
But the letters that you write
       Bm    A       G
In the faded winter light
  D             F#m
Just tell her they tell her
            Bm      D                  G
That you've got ten dollars and you'll be all right
D        G                D            G                   B
And when you get straight you're gonna come back east some day

[Verse 2]
B
Does your mother know
    E                  G#m
You have a man in the West
B
 Does your mother know
    A           E        D
You drove him from your door
E             G#m     D
Anyway that's all you think about
      E                F#
You'd call her if you could

[Verse 3]
B
Does your mother know
    E                      C#m
You walked all day in the rain
B
 Does your mother know
    A          E         D
How deep your love could be
E             G#m     D
Anyway that's all you think about
      E                F#
You'd call her if you could

[Chorus]
        Bm      A          G
But the letters that you write
       Bm       A
In the faded winter light
  D             F#m
Just tell her they tell her
            Bm      D                G
That you've got ten dollars and your rent costs eight
D        G                D            C                   B
And when you get straight you're gonna come back east some day

[Outro]
        Bm                 G          Bm    A      G
But the letters that you write in the faded winter light

Just tell her they tell her
