GGot a postcard from Elvis
It was postmarked CGuam
Said he was workin' in a Glittle cafe
Where he met DYvonne
GSaid the lights from the kitchen
Didn't bother him Cmuch
DSaid he wasn't worried about what he ate
Or shavin' and Gsuch
CSaid he found a red Monaro
DSaid it runs pretty Ggood
CMost Saturdays he's Gdreamin' away
DUnder the hood
He said, Cmaybe it's a little bit Gstupid
DSometimes I forGget
But Ccloser I come to the Gheart of the matter
The Dfarther away I Gget
GGot a phone call from Norma
Said she's lovin' the Cfarm
CSpends her time adGvancin' her mind
In Dsweet Johnny's arms
GSaid he's glad to be out of the running
Glad he got away cClean
DWorkin' the land with dirt on his hands
For his sweet GNorma Jean
CThey got a big old four-poster
DThey know it's comin' Gsoon
CBaby needs shoes and when the Glittle one's due
They'll be Dneeding some room
She said, Cmaybe it's a little bit Gstupid
DSometimes I forGget
But Ccloser I come to the Gheart of the matter
The Dfarther away I Gget
CI've been talkin' to some Fold Cfriends of Gmine
CWon't you hold a moment
While I gFet my oCther lDine
GGot a message from Buddha
He left it on my mCachine
He said when you go
So Gfast that it's slow
You'll kDnow what I mean
CSaid he found a red Monaro
DSaid it runs pretty Ggood
CMost Saturdays he's Gdreamin' away
DUnder the hood
He said, Cmaybe it's a little bit Gstupid
DSometimes I forGget
But Ccloser I come to the Gheart of the matter
The Dfarther away I Gget
The Ccloser I come to the Gheart of the matter
The Dfarther away I Gget

Got a postcard from Elvis

It was postmarked Guam

Said he was workin' in a little cafe

Where he met Yvonne

Said the lights from the kitchen

Didn't bother him much

Said he wasn't worried about what he ate

Or shavin' and such

Said he found a red Monaro

D G

Said it runs pretty good

C G

Most Saturdays he's dreamin' away

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

Got a phone call from Norma

Said she's lovin' the farm

C G

Spends her time advancin' her mind

In sweet Johnny's arms

Said he's glad to be out of the running

Glad he got away clean

Workin' the land with dirt on his hands

For his sweet Norma Jean

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

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

Won't you hold a moment

F C D

While I get my other line

Got a message from Buddha

He left it on my machine

He said when you go

So fast that it's slow

You'll know what I mean

Said he found a red Monaro

D G

Said it runs pretty good

C G

Most Saturdays he's dreamin' away

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
