Tex Don and Charlie - Postcard From Elvis

      
G
Got a postcard from Elvis
                  C
It was postmarked Guam
                         G
Said he was workin' in a little cafe
             D
Where he met Yvonne


G
Said the lights from the kitchen
                  C
Didn't bother him much
D
Said he wasn't worried about what he ate
               G
Or shavin' and such


C
Said he found a red Monaro
D                   G
Said it runs pretty good
C                   G
Most Saturdays he's dreamin' away
D
Under the hood


         C                       G
He said, maybe it's a little bit stupid
D              G
Sometimes I forget
    C                    G
But closer I come to the heart of the matter
    D              G
The farther away I get


G
Got a phone call from Norma
                      C
Said she's lovin' the farm
C                 G
Spends her time advancin' her mind
   D
In sweet Johnny's arms


G
Said he's glad to be out of the running
                  C
Glad he got away clean
D
Workin' the land with dirt on his hands
              G
For his sweet Norma Jean


C
They got a big old four-poster
D                     G
They know it's comin' soon
C                             G
Baby needs shoes and when the little one's due
           D
They'll be needing some room


          C                       G
She said, maybe it's a little bit stupid
D              G
Sometimes I forget
    C                    G
But closer I come to the heart of the matter
    D              G
The farther away I get


C                         F   C          G
I've been talkin' to some old friends of mine
C
Won't you hold a moment
         F      C     D
While I get my other line


G
Got a message from Buddha
                  C
He left it on my machine

He said when you go
   G
So fast that it's slow
        D
You'll know what I mean


C
Said he found a red Monaro
D                   G
Said it runs pretty good
C                   G
Most Saturdays he's dreamin' away
D
Under the hood


         C                       G
He said, maybe it's a little bit stupid
D              G
Sometimes I forget
    C                    G
But closer I come to the heart of the matter
    D              G
The farther away I get
    C                    G
The closer I come to the heart of the matter
    D              G
The farther away I get
