A#7 D# F A#
A# F A#
I recognize the writing, on the plain white envelope.
Gm D# A# F D#
I've wondered where she'd wind up, before she called or wrote.
D# A# F D#
The answer's in a circle, through the word 'Love' on a stamp,
Cm F A#
Postmarked Birmingham
A# F A#
I'd have bet on California, 'cause her sister's in Bel Aire.
Gm D# A# F D#
Or I could see Seattle, with her mom and dad up there.
D# A# F D#
She never mentioned Alabama, so I don't understand.

[Chorus]
Gm F D# A# F
G two-page letter written on, Ramada stationary.
Gm F D#
Dated April twenty-two.
Cm D#
She asked me not to hate her, said she's sorry.
Cm D# F ? ?
But leavin's what she felt she had to do.
A# F A#
So the day she left she made it, two hundred miles south.
Gm D#
Did she settle there, did she mail this note
A# F D#
on her way out of town.
D# A# F D#
What chance is there to find her, when the only clue I have is
Cm F A#
Postmarked Birmingham
Repeat Chorus
A# F A#
Every day down by the mailbox, standin' on the curb I check.
Gm D# A# F D#
The upper right hand corner, of every piece of mail I get.
D# A#
Hopin' there's that certain circle,
F D#
Through the word 'Love' on a stamp.
Cm F A#
Postmarked Birmingham,
Cm F A#7 D# F A#
Postmarked Birmingham.
