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
