C I recognize the writing, on the G plain white envelo C pe.
Am I've wondered where she'd F wind up, C before she G called or F wrote.
F The answer's in a C circle, through the G word 'Love' on a F stamp,
Dm Postmarked G Birming C ham
C I'd have bet on California, 'cause her G sister's in C Bel Aire.
Or Am I could see F Seattle, with her C mom and G dad up F there.
F She never mentioned C Alabama, so G I don't under F stand.
Dm Postmarked G Birming C ham
Chorus:
Am A two-page letter G written on, F Ramada station C ary G .
Am Dated G April F twenty-two.
Dm She asked me not to hate her, said she's F sorry.
Dm F G ? ?
But leavin's what she felt she had to do.
So the C day she left she made it, two G hundred miles C south.
Did she Am settle there, did she F mail this note
on C her way G out of F town.
What F chance is there to C find her, when the G only clue I F have is
Dm Postmarked G Birming C ham
Repeat Chorus
Every C day down by the mailbox, standin' G on the curb I C check.
The Am upper right hand F corner, of every C piece of G mail I F get.
F Hopin' there's that certain C circle,
Through the G word 'Love' on a F stamp.
Dm Postmarked G Birming C ham,
Dm Postmarked G Birming C7 ham. F G C
