Letter To My Mother Chords

D

D |--12----11----10----5----9----4-----2----7----0----(2)------(4)-----0--|

*Note: These may not be the actual chord names but they're pretty close. The Em7/11 and

F#m7/11 chords can be played with or without the note in (). I think they sound better

with them but I believe Edwin plays without.
