Main Riff - (Intro e versos) Verse riff - (use your index finger to hold down an A, and play the rest of the notes with your other fingers, that 5 is a stretch!) A A* Intro - (main riff x4) verse 1 A (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 D A 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 2 A 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 D A But while I'm deciding, to save my soul E I'm going to find me a hole to hide in
