Intro - (main riff x4)
verse 1A (verse riff)
Woke up this mornin' and I crawled out of bed
A
I made a cup of coffee just to clear my head
A
I felt all right 'til I looked on the floor
A*
There was a pile of bills stacked against the door
A
I went in the kitchen and drank another cup
A
I sat down at the table and added it up
A
When I discovered how much I owe
A*
I said ooh, ooh it's time to go
D
Mailman stay away from my door
A
Got too many bills I don't need no more
E
I don't know what I'm gonna do
DA
But while I'm deciding, to save my soul
E
I'm going to find me a hole to hide in
(main riff x4)
verse 2A
Everyday it's the same old thing
A
I know in advance what the man's gonna bring
A
Registered letters from all over town
A*
The final reminders are gettin' me down
A
I once had money, but it's all been spent
A
And now the landlord said he needs the rent
A
Telephone company cuttin' off my phone
A*
Why don't they all just leave me alone
D
Mailman keep away from my door
A
Got too many bills I don't need no more
E
I don't know what I'm gonna do
DA
But while I'm deciding, to save my soul
E
I'm going to find me a hole to hide in
