It was morning just like any other morning in the Georgia hill (wiig)
[ch]D7[/ch]
She heard a knocking at her door and up her spine she felt a tingly chill (rudd)
[ch]G7[/ch] (barre)
And she stumbled to the door and said hey whos that on the other side? (wiig)
[ch]D7[/ch] [ch]C7[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch]
I gotta package here for Lester Carl and Eleanor Alisha Pride. (rudd)
[ch]D7[/ch]
She said listen here those people that youre talking about they live next door. (wiig)
[ch]D7[/ch]
And he said Wait a second isnt this 5407 Johnson Road? (rudd)
[ch]G7[/ch]
She said Yes it is but this here is a duplex and they live in back. (wiig)
[ch]D7[/ch] [ch]C7[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch]
Then he said Let me call my manager so I can get this package tracked. (rudd)
[ch]D7[/ch]
Then he said Lady can I use your phone my cell aint got no signal thats clear. (wiig)
[ch]D7[/ch]
And she said Sure enough but careful theres a lot of broken glass over here. (rudd)
[ch]G7[/ch]
And he tip-toed to the kitchen and he called his manager Jerome. (wiig)
[ch]D7[/ch] [ch]C7[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch]
He started reading off the tracking number right into her M & M phone. (rudd)
[ch]D7[/ch]
He said 31256935673452″ (wiig)
[ch]D7[/ch]
Then he continued TKX45201267Q. (rudd)
[ch]G7[/ch]
Then he looked at her real weird and said the rest is covered by tape. (wiig)
[ch]D7[/ch] [ch]C7[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch]
And then he lifted up the tape and read J712438. (rudd)

57143577GLD5Q (wiig)
[ch]D7[/ch]
Then it continues with BR476913AP2″ (rudd)
[ch]G7[/ch]
Which was followed by an asterisk then PPDL dash Q dash. (wiig)
[ch]D7[/ch] [ch]C7[/ch] [ch]D7[/ch]

[ch]D7[/ch]: xx0212
[ch]G7[/ch]: 353433

If the G7 sounds weird, just play the last three strings.
The style is staccato picking, and is easier to play with
your thumb than strumming with a pick.
