Waiting On The Mail By Charlie Robison rmofle at satx.rr.com 11/21/2005 Intro Chords: A D Em G C Em Dirty July morning, clothes flapping on the line C Em A B Em Flapping on the line, clothes flapping on the line Em G C Em Well the cops sent out the warning, Phantom One has done his time C Em A B Em One has done his time, Phantom One has done his time C D But that don’t mean nothing to me, Care less if he rots in his cell Em Am C Am Cause I got a fuse of my own to burn while I stand in line to take my turn C B Em Waiting for the mail Well I was promised a letter, at least a Japanese post card Japanese post card, Japanese post card And after all of these days I can count all the ways, ain’t seen nothing like that so far Nothing like that so far, nothing like that so far And I wonder if she’s in trouble, what kinda demons are on her trail But there aint nothing I could do to change the changes she’s been through While I been waiting for the mail Solo Bridge: C9 B9 Em Last night I dreamed about a motel near the border C9 B9 Em A dim light and a twenty dollar room C9 B9 Em Sweat poured from my brow as I laid there frozen C D I was wide awake and not a minute too soon Well the buzzards fly up to the heavens, dog’s sound asleep on the porch Sound asleep on the porch, dog’s sound asleep on the porch And it’s a year to the day since the fields burned away but I still carry this torch I still carry this torch, I still carry this torch And I’m feeling a little bit seasick but I still got one hand on the rail And one eye on the road, cause that’s where my future will unfold While I’m waiting for the mail Outro
