Tuning: EADGBe (normal tuning)

There's a saxophone at the start of song and at various points during the song.
I have arranged here my version of the sax for guitar that kicks off the song,
its played on the big E string. I haven't tabbed the other saxaphone bits but
they'd be something similar to the intro sax.
Intro sax: E|---4---6---8----6---4----2--|
With the chords they are simple open chords with the B7:021202, where there is
N.C.(No Chords) the last chord before that should have been strummed once and
let ring while the following line is sung.

A         B7      A         B7
Return to sender, Return to sender.
E                       A        E                B7    E 
I gave my letter to the postman, he put it in his sack. Bright and early 
     A        B7         A      E     N.C.
next morning, he gave my letter back (She wrote upon it).
A         B7      A       B7       A       B7      A       B7    A       
Return to sender. Address unknown. No such number, no such zone. We had a 
B7       A         B7    A                                            B7
quarrel. A lover’s spat. I write I’m sorry but my letter keeps coming back.

I haven't wriiten the rest of the words but the song follows this same chord
pattern. It shouldn't be too hard to find the lyrics if you are wanting to
know them. I think there is a different bit it goes:
A                                      E                         A
This time i'm gonna take it myself and put it right in her hand. And if it 
                             E,N.C.                  E
comes back the very next day,  then i'll understand (The writing on it).
