Intro: ( C7 F G C )
C G C
I recognize the writing, on the plain white envelope.
Am F C G F
I've wondered where she'd wind up, before she called or wrote.
F C G F
The answer's in a circle, through the word 'Love' on a stamp,
Dm G C

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

Chorus:
Am G F C G
A two-page letter written on, Ramada stationary.
Am G F
Dated April twenty-two.
Dm F
She asked me not to hate her, said she's sorry.
Dm F G ? ?
But leavin's what she felt she had to do.
C G C
So the day she left she made it, 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 G F
What chance is there to find her, when the only clue I have is
Dm G C

Repeat Chorus
C G C
Every day down by the mailbox, standin' on the curb I check.
Am F C G F
The upper right hand corner, of every piece of mail I get.
F C
Hopin' there's that certain circle,
G F
Through the word 'Love' on a stamp.
