Standard (EADGBE)

Verse

I woke you up at four this morning

To whimper and to whine

To hear myself through spit and crackle

Of a poor long distance line (etc, continuted Bm G E A pattern)

Chorus

By the way, I got your letter yesterday

It said there's no need to be sad

It said that some things would never ever change

But that some already had

And I'd heard it from the corner of my ear

How that voice makes things right

And I'm sure there's something more than memory

Across the Maryland bridge tonight
