#1. 
A I've been traveling over mountains,
 even through the valleys, too. 
D I've been traveling night and day,
EA running all the way, baby, trying to get to you.
 #2. 
A Ever since I read your letter,
 where you said you loved me, true. 
D I've been traveling night and day,
EAA7 running all the way, baby, trying to get to you.
 CHORUS: 
A7D When I read your lovin' letters..
A then my heart began to sing.
B there were many miles between us,
E but they didn't mean a thing.
 #3. 
A Well, if I had to do it over..
 that's exactly what I'd do. 
D I'd travel night and day, and I'd still
EA run all the way, baby, trying to get to you.
D I kept traveling night and day,
EAA7 running all the way, baby, trying to get to you.
 CHORUS: 
A7D Well, there's nothing that could hold me.
A Or that could keep me away from you.
B When your loving letter told me,
E that you really loved me, true.
 #5. 
EA Lord above me knows I love you.
 It was He who brought me through. 
D When my way was darkest night,
E He would shine His brightest light,
A When I was trying to get to you.
