  Postmarked Birmingham (Blackhawk)

  

  Capo 3rd. fret

  Intro:  ( C7  F  G  C )??  

  (I'm working on a chart that will better show how to pick out the intro., 

  instrumental between verses, and the ending.  I'll send this separately)

  

  C                                G                 C     

  I recognize the writing,  on the plain white envelope.

  Am                        F         C          G         F

  I've wondered where she'd wind up,  before she called or wrote.

  F                 C                    G                F

  The answer's in a circle,  through the word 'Love' on a stamp,

  Dm         G      C

  C                                       G           C     

  I'd have bet on California,  'cause her sister's in Bel Aire.

     Am          F                  C       G      F

  Or I could see Seattle,  with her mom and dad up there.

  F                   C            G            F

  She never mentioned Alabama,  so I don't understand.

  Dm         G      C

  Chorus:

  Am                G            F             C  G

  A two-page letter written on,  Ramada stationary.  

  Am    G     F

  Dated April twenty-two.

  Dm                                        F

  She asked me not to hate her,  said she's sorry.  

      Dm                F               G   ?  ?

  But leavin's what she felt she had to do.

  

         C                              G             C

  So the day she left she made it,  two hundred miles south.

          Am                    F

  Did she settle there, did she mail this note 

     C       G      F

  on her way out of town.

       F                  C                   G           F

  What chance is there to find her,  when the only clue I have is

  Dm         G      C

  Postmarked Birmingham

  

  Repeat Chorus

  

        C                                  G             C

  Every day down by the mailbox,  standin' on the curb I check.

      Am               F                 C       G       F

  The upper right hand corner,  of every piece of mail I get.

  F                           C

  Hopin' there's that certain circle,  

              G                F

  Through the word 'Love' on a stamp.

  Dm         G      C     

  Postmarked Birmingham,  

  Dm         G      C7  F  G  C

  Postmarked Birmingham.
