C                                
I recognize the writing,  on the 
G                 C
plain white envelope.
Am                        F      
I've wondered where she'd wind 
   C          G         F
up,  before she called or wrote.
F                 C              
The answer's in a circle,  
      G                F
through the word 'Love' on a stamp,
Dm         G      C

C                                 
I'd have bet on California,  
      G           C
'cause her sister's in Bel Aire.
   Am          F                  
Or I could see Seattle,  with her 
C       G      F
mom and dad up there.
F                   C            
She never mentioned Alabama,  so 
G            F
I don't understand.
Dm         G      C

[Chorus]
Am                G         
A two-page letter written on,  
   F             C  G
Ramada stationary.
Am    G     F
Dated April twenty-two.
Dm                                
She asked me not to hate her,  
        F
said she's sorry.
    Dm                F           
But leavin's what she felt she had
    G   ?  ?
 to do.

       C                         
So the day she left she made it,  
     G             C
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         
What chance is there to find her, 
          G           F
 when the only clue I have is
Dm         G      C

Repeat Chorus

      C                        
Every day down by the mailbox,  
          G             C
standin' on the curb I check.
    Am               F         
The upper right hand corner,  of 
        C       G       F
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
