Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I'd rather see songs like [Em]the one that
[D]Woody Guthrie wrote for his kids.
I'm -a gonna write,
I'm -a gonna wrap myself
[G]in [D]pa per
I'm -a gonna daub myself with glue
Stick some stamps on the [G]top of my [D]head
I'm -a gonna mail myself to you
I'm -a gonna tie me up in a
little red string
I'm -a gonna tie blue [G]rib[D]bon too
Climb up into [G]my mailbox
[D]I'm -a gonna mail myself to you
And then my postman comes and
takes me out of the mailbox
and takes me downtown
to the post office.
And they put me on a big train
in a big sack.
And then it gets to your city,
and they take the sack,
and they throw it off the train.
And they take me up to
your post office,
and your postman comes and takes
me down the street to your house.
When you find me in [G]your mailbox,
[D]cut the string and let [G]me out.
Wash [D]the glue off of my fin[G]gers.
[D]Stick some bubble gum in my mouth.

[Verse 2]
[D]Take me out of my wrapping [G]paper,
[D]wash the stamps off of [G]my head,
[D]pour me full of some ice cream sodas,
tuck me into a nice warm bed.
I'm gonna wrap myself [G]in paper,
[D]I'm gonna dab myself [G]with glue,
[D]stick some stamps on the [G]top of my [D]head,
I'm gonna mail myself to you.

[Outro 1]
Thank you.
