[Verse 1]
                         F
I've been traveling over mountains
                          F
Even through the valleys, too
F                               Bb
  I've been traveling night and day
(break)
                          C
I've been running all the way
                       F
Baby, trying to get to you

[Verse 2]
                       F
Ever since I read your letter
                            F
Where you said you loved me true
F                               Bb
  I've been traveling night and day
(break)
                          C
I've been running all the way
                       F
Baby, trying to get to you

[Bridge 1]
                        Bb7
When I read your loving letter
                       F
Then my heart began to sing
                        Bb7
There were many miles between us
                       C
But they didn't mean a thing

[Verse 3]
                         F
I just had to reach you, baby
                               F
In spite of all that I've been through
F                            Bb
  I kept traveling night and day
(break)
                       C
I kept running all the way
                       F
Baby, trying to get to you

[Verse 4]
                       F
Well if I had to do it over
                        F
That’s exactly what I’d do
F                          Bb
  I would travel night and day
(break)
                          C
And I’d still run all the way
                       F
Baby, trying to get to you

[Bridge 2]
                                 Bb7
Well, there's nothing that could hold me
                                F
Or that could keep me away from you
                        Bb7
When your loving letter told me
                        |  C  |  C  |
That you really loved me true  (break)

[Verse 5]
                      F
Lord above me knows I love you
                         F
It was He who brought me through
F                         Bb
  When my way was dark as night
(break)
                             C
He would shine His brightest light
                                  1 + 2 +
                          |  F  | F     F
When I was trying to get to you
