[Verse 1]
Em         G             C                  Em
Dirty July morning, clothes flappin' on the line
C               Em            Am      Bm       Em
Flappin' on the line, clothes flappin' on the line
         Em                G                C                Em
Well the cops sent out the warning, Phantom One has done his time
C                Em            Am      Bm       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
 
 
[Verse 2]
Em                    G                  C             Em
Well I was promised a letter, at least a Japanese post card
C             Em        Am   Bm   Em
Japanese post card, Japanese post card
          Em                      G                  C                            Em
And after all of these days I can count all the ways, ain’t seen nothin' like that so far
C                    Em           Am      Bm   Em
Nothin' like that so far, nothin' like that so far
      C                                      D
And I wonder if she’s in trouble, what kinda demons are on her trail
                Em            Am               C                  Am
But there ain't nothing I can do to change the changes she’s been through
                C    B          Em
While I've been waiting for the mail

[Bridge]
             C               Bm             Em
Last night I dreamed about a motel near the border
      C           Bm            Em
A dim light and a twenty dollar room
C                    Bm                   Em
Sweat poured from my brow as I laid there frozen
            C                         D
I was wide awake and not a minute too soon
 
 
[Verse 3]
         Em                     G              C                   Em
Well the buzzards fly up to the heavens, dog’s sound asleep on the porch
C                   Em          Am      Bm           Em
Sound asleep on the porch, dog’s sound asleep on the porch
           Em                        G                 C                       Em
And it’s a year to the day since the fields burned away but I still carry this torch
C                  Em             Am    Bm   Em
I still carry this torch, I still carry this torch
        C                            D
And I’m feeling a little bit seasick, but I still got one hand on the rail
    Em             Am           C                      Am
And one eye on the road, 'cause that’s where my future will unfold
          C   B           Em
While I’m waiting for the mail
 
 
[Outro]
