At general delivery, she picks up her mail, Mama says Johnny just got out of jail
    D7                                                                C9(riff 1)   G
She hopes he don't know where she's at, How could she had ever loved that kind of cat

    C                       D                      G                   C           D            G
She remembers the dance in the moonlight       From the hall to the back of his car
 G                                         C          D                 C9(riff 1)    G
He taught her how to drink whiskey     Three chords on a pawnshop guitar

    C                       D                  G          C                      D                   G
She remembers the first time he kissed her     Back when the feeling was new
 G                                    C          D                           C9(riff 1)    G
She sang the Red River Valley         For the cowboy who loved her so true

    D                                   C            G          D                           G
She's working each night at what she knows best    Hanging in bars a professional guest
    D7                                                                C9(riff 1)   G
She picks up a young buckaroo       Because he reminds her of someone she knew
