Verse 1:
[G] I recognize the writing, on the [D] plain white envel[G]ope.
[Em] I've wondered where she'd [C]wind up, [G] before she [D] called or [C] wrote.
[C] The answer's in a [G] circle, through the [D] word 'Love' on a [C] stamp,
[Am] Postmarked [D] Birming[G]ham

[G] I'd have bet on California, 'cause her [D] sister's in [G] Bel Aire.
Or [Em] I could see [C] Seattle, with her [G] mom and [D] dad up [C] there.
[C] She never mentioned [G] Alabama, so [D] I don't under[C]stand.

So the [G] day she left she made it, two [D] hundred miles [G] south.
Did she [Em] settle there, did she [C] mail this note

What [C] chance is there to [G] find her, when the [D] only clue I [C] have is

Every [G] day down by the mailbox, standin' [D] on the curb I [G] check.
The [Em] upper right hand [C] corner, of every [G] piece of [D] mail I [C] get.
