Bm               G
I woke you up at four this morning
E                 A
To whimper and to whine
Bm              G
To hear myself through spit and crackle
E                       A
Of a poor long distance line (etc, continuted Bm G E A pattern)


Chorus:
D        A                      Bm
By the way, I got your letter yesterday
                    G                   E
It said there's no need to be sad
D                                        Bm
It said that some things would never ever change
           E                A
But that some already had
D         A                       Bm
And I'd heard it from the corner of my ear
   G                        E
How that voice makes things right
D                                       Bm
And I'm sure there's something more than memory
        E         A        D
Across the Maryland bridge tonight
