U.S. Mail

[Verse]
G
Mama won't you write me a letter?
C                  G
Stick it in the US Mail
G
And mama I do hope you feel better
    C                 G
For you, I will not fail
 
[Chorus]
          Em                       Am7
I may not always be there when you need me
                   G
But don't be scared
            Em                          Am7
You may not always be there when I need you
                  G
But I have no fear
 
[Verse]
G                                C
And mama I know you've done things
C                 G
In which you are not proud
G
But mama me, if only me, would know
G                           C              G
The things that'd you'd go through, to wow a crowd
G
'Cause when I was a little girl, you'd dress me like Bardot
        C                                     G
And the hallway'd become a catwalk, and you'd watch me go to the show
G
Said, "All the little girls were pretty, but I was pretty like fresh flowers"
        C                                 G
I was a superhero, mama, with superpowers
 
[Chorus]
            Em                     Am7
You may not always be there when I need you
                  G
But I'm not scared
          Em                            Am7
I may not always be there when you need me
                G
But have no fear
 
[Verse]
G
I'm right here in your ear
          Em                            Am7
I will be leaving soon, oh yeah, all of you
        G
So take care of each other out there
           Em                Am7
For I will always be in your heart, you see
          G
I'm right here, put your hand over your chest
                           Em
Oh, and always do your best

[Bridge]
     Em         Am               G
Come Lola, come Clementine, come Zuzu
     Em            Am7          G
Come Loretta, come Sierra, come Blue
     Em          Am7            G
Come Honey, come children, come kids
             Em            Am7            G
Oh, the whole world is out dancing in the street
              Em                     Am                 G
Kick off your shoes, child, feel the cold and wet concrete
