B                  E 
I read your letter just this morning 
    F#           E                       B 
The first you've wrote since you've been gone

You've bought a new car, a great big red one 
F#     E                     B 
With a top that rolls right down

You must be something in San Fransisco

A dressed up, painted country clown

You're fakin' it well, but it's easy to tell

Go sell that red car, catch an airplane

You're fakin' it well, but it's easy to tell
