"Dear Eloise"
(Clarke - Hicks - Nash)
[Intro] (harmonium)
/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / /
Dear Eloise, I am writing to say
A number of funny things I heard today
I heard that he's left you and gone off to sea
D C D C D N.C.
Could be the best thing that's happened to me
(spoken: two-three-four)

Verse 1

Writing a letter to make you feel better
Sorry to hear that he left you that way
I coulda told you he was much older
So much older than you

Verse 2

You rushed in blindly, he treated you kindly
Until he found out what he could get from you
You shoulda departed before he got started
Now you've been burned, just like I said you would

Bridge

Please read my letter closely
It's beneficial to you
Must read in between the lines, a message you will see
If you use your mind you'll find I want you back with me

Wordless vocal over two verses

D A G D x4

Verse 3

Writing a letter to make you feel better
Sorry to hear that he left you that way
I coulda told you he was much older
So much older than you

Coda

So much older than you
G D (tape slows down)
So much older than you

Outro

Dear Eloise, I am writing to say
A number of funny things I heard today
I heard that he's left you and gone off to sea
Could be the best thing that's happened to me  
-- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
