"Intro" hammering on  the High E string:  | -2/3/2/3/2/3/etc
(played with hand in Bm position for ease when starting song)

Verse:

B5             G5
I woke you up at four this morning
E5              A5
To whimper and to whine
B5            G5
To hear myself through spit and crackle
E5                  A5
Of a poor long distance line (etc, continuted Bm G E A pattern)


Chorus:
D5       A5                  B5
By the way, I got your letter yesterday
                G5                  E5
It said there's no need to be sad
D5                               B5
It said that some things would never ever change
         E5                A5
But that some already had
D5        A5                    B5
And I'd heard it from the corner of my ear
   G5                      E5
How that voice makes things right
D5                              B5
And I'm sure there's something more than memory
      E5        A5         D5
Across the Maryland bridge tonight
