My First Tab
Intro: G, C/G, Am, D X2
G C/G
Postmark meant it was a rainy day
Am D
She opened the envelope anyway
G C/G
She read the paper with a heartfelt sigh
Am D G
She was already crying and she didn't know why
It was hurricane Utah way back when
She didn't know or care about men
In each endeavour she scored ten
Once she was a victim of her poisoned pen
Chorus:
C D G
It was scribbled down drunk but posted sober
C D
All tethered up with hopes and fears
G C/G
On the stamp was a picture of Elvis
Am D G
Even He couldn't help to stop those tears
Then she went to collage in salt lake city
She was surrounded by a million books
Irish poems to William Shakespeare
She kept her council and she kept her looks
CHORUS
Now she walks to school with a gun in her handbag
She dreams of a time when it all made sense
She's never going back to hurricane Utah
To the tree with the swing and the picket fence
CHORUS X2
Outro: G, C/G, Am, D
