From a Kitchen Table Lyrics
by Dave Alvin
Dave Alvin - Eb
Capo at 1st Fret & play as written
(When the G goes to the Em walk the bass down G F# E
I hope this letter finds you
Wherever you may be
'Cause I mailed some a while back
And they were all returned to me
There ain't nothing, I can tell you about the hometown
Everything changes but nothing's new
Just Sunday night at the kitchen table
Finishing a beer and thinking of you
Chorus:
(2nd - But 3rd - And) I still work the same job
Still live with my mom for free
Ever since the old man passed on
It just got harder to leave
Well, I heard a rumor, that you got married
Though you swore that you never would
I guess you finally got your own kids now
Do you ever tell 'em about the old neighborhood
Like the time we stole your dad's car
Drove all night down Imperial Highway
You kept saying, maybe we should turn around
And I said, it don't take much to get away
Repeat Chorus / Break ( Em A Em A F#m G Em A D )
I guess that's all that I, got to tell you
Guess things turned out like they're meant to be
I just hope that this letter finds you
But until then, I'll just keep it with me
Repeat Chorus
My Intro: (it''s how I play it - listen to the song for the timing)
