Intro Chords:

A D

Em G C Em

Dirty July morning, clothes flapping on the line

C Em A B Em

Flapping on the line, clothes flapping on the line

Em G C Em

Well the cops sent out the warning, Phantom One has done his time

C Em A B 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

Well I was promised a letter, at least a Japanese post card

Japanese post card, Japanese post card

And after all of these days I can count all the ways, ain’t seen nothing like that so far

Nothing like that so far, nothing like that so far

And I wonder if she’s in trouble, what kinda demons are on her trail

But there aint nothing I could do to change the changes she’s been through

While I been waiting for the mail

Solo

Bridge:

C9 B9 Em

Last night I dreamed about a motel near the border

C9 B9 Em

A dim light and a twenty dollar room

C9 B9 Em

Sweat poured from my brow as I laid there frozen

C D

I was wide awake and not a minute too soon

Well the buzzards fly up to the heavens, dog’s sound asleep on the porch

Sound asleep on the porch, dog’s sound asleep on the porch

And it’s a year to the day since the fields burned away but I still carry this torch

I still carry this torch, I still carry this torch

And I’m feeling a little bit seasick but I still got one hand on the rail

And one eye on the road, cause that’s where my future will unfold

While I’m waiting for the mail
