Am                    F 
Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane, 
G                        D 
Ain't got time to take a fast train. 
Am                    F 
Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home, 
   E7                   Am 
My baby just wrote me a letter.

Am                            F 
I don't care how much money I gotta spend,  
G                     D 
Got to get back to my baby again  
Am                    F 
Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home, 
   E7                   Am 
My baby just wrote me a letter.

          C          G 
Well, she wrote me a letter  
         F        C        G 
Said she couldn't live without me no mo'. 
C             G               F          C 
Listen mister can't you see I got to get back

To my baby once a-mo'--anyway...
