verse 1 

D        G            E          D       
I got your letter it had turned to sand,  
          G         E                   D 
Lighting strikes the postman in his hand, 



D                    G                    D         G 
I hope that you remember the things you had to say, 
           E         G        D 
It's just a supernatural delay 

verse 2 

D                  G      E      D  
I got yer package it was all a mess,  
           G            E                 D 
Lightning strikes the postman in his chest 

Chorus 

D                    G                    D         G 
I hope that you remember the things you had to say, 
           E         G        D 
It's just a supernatural delay 
D                    G         E        D 
I sent you a postcard and I hope yer fine  
                      G      E                D 
But lightning strikes the postman all the time 


D                    G         D         G 
I couldn't really think of anything to say, 
           E         G        D 
It's just a supernatural delay

And it's hard to read the writing through the flames
