The Mail Will Go Through


Capo 2nd fret C F C F C F C Yes sir, modern life is scary, it's sure tough on me and thee. F G C F C It's hard to count on anything these days, C F C F C F C But when things get too hairy with their insecurity, F G C F C We can count on the Post Office, Lord be praised. D G They say we'll all be cinders in the end, D G G7 But there's one bright hope on which we may depend, may depend. C They can go and drop the big one but the mail will go through, G7 C That's a promise to you, that the mail will go through. There'll be no one left to read it, but the mail will go through, G7 C What a wonderful change that will be. G7 C The announcement was so welcome, it allayed our deepest fears. G7 C It was met with heartfelt cheers as we sank a couple o' beers. F C We can write to all our loved ones, saying we're no longer here, D G - G/F - G/E - G/D And the mail will go through.

They can go and drop the big one but the mail will go through,
That's a promise to you, that the mail will go through.
There'll be no one left to read it, but the mail will go through,
What a wonderful change that will be.

When the final war is over and it's been a great success,
We've been powdered, more or less, comes the mailman express.
He'll come sifting through the ashes till he finds the right address,
And the mail will go through.

They can go and drop the big one but the mail will go through,
That's a promise to you, that the mail will go through.
There'll be no one left to read it, but the mail will go through,
What a wonderful change that will be.

So the future can't be all bad, there's a lot you've got to like.
If they've vaporized your bike you can take a little hike,
And get your letter in the chute between the first and second strike,
And the mail will go through.

They can go and drop the big one but the mail will go through,
That's a promise to you, that the mail will go through.
There'll be no one left to read it, but the mail will go through,

       G7                         C - A7
What a wonderful change that will be.
       D7        G7               C
What a wonderful change that will be.

(Words and music by Tom Paxton, 1983)
