#1.
E
I tore my letter up..I couldn't even start..
                          B     E
to tell you what's really in my heart.
E
There's only so much that words can say..
                               B         E
so, I sent you a piece of this beautiful day.

CHORUS:
E                             A          E
Oh, I want you to know that I took a rainbow,
                     B         E
and sent it off in a letter to you.
E                                       A            E
Took some flowers in the spring..made a sweet clover ring,
                     B         E
and sent it off in a letter to you.
       A             E         A             E
Took a song from the lark..the moon from the dark..
  A              E         B
a spark with the sparkling dew.
       E                     A            E
With a kiss and a hug, and a whole lot of love,
                    B         E
I sent 'em off in a letter to you.

E
I took the mornin' sun peekin' through the trees,
                               B      E
and the dandelion silk tangled in the breeze..
E
I folded 'em up, sealed 'em with a kiss,
                                       B
it's the kind of letter that you can't resist.

CHORUS:
E                             A          E
Oh, I want you to know that I took a rainbow,
                     B         E

In a day or two..just you wait and see..
                           B         E
you're gonna get a special del..ive..ry.
E
You'll know the way I feel..there can't be any doubt.
                                 B          E
When you open it up..and let the love spill out.
