Em
Later on, the story goes
           Fmaj7
A bottle floated out to sea
                         Em
After days, when it had found the perfect spot
Fmaj7        Em E+ A
It opened up
      Dm7                     G7
And I read the note that you never wrote to
 C Bm/E Am/D
me

After all, I'm sure you know
The Mayor of Baltimore is here
After days now he can finally appear
Now at last he's here
        Dm7            A         A7
But he never is gonna get my vote
           Dm7            A         A7
'Cause he never is gonna get a quote
           Dm7                 G7
From the little note that you never wrote to
 C Bm/E Am/D
me

Further on, along the line
I was arrested on the shore
Holding papers of governments galore
I was taken in
But I read the note that you never wrote
Yes, I read the note that you never wrote to me
C/F  Bm/E  Fmaj7
Me,  (me), me
