Chords

From the tMG Wiki, but with the better chorus from one version and the better verses from the other. [Intro] G Gdim C C7 (x2) [Verse 1]
     G                         Gdim
Been living hand-to-mouth for a year or better

        C                    C7
When the mailman comes and he brings me your letter

     G                         Gdim
And I recognize the handwriting even now

      C                   C7
But I go ahead and open it anyhow, yeah

  G                               B
and no one's been buying from my roadside stand

      C                      D
so I hold your letter like a cross in my hand
[Chorus]
        G                     Dsus4 Cadd9
I'm gonna wrap up my troubles

          G                   Dsus4 Cadd9
I'm gonna wrap up my troubles

G                             Am F#m
I'm gonna wrap up my troubles

       G Gdim C C7 (x2)
In you
[Verse 2]
       G
I went out into the kitchen

Gdim                              C
Where the light comes through the four-paneled window

C7
Clear and bright

        G                          Gdim
And it's taken me several years to realize

          C                     C7
How much I like the way that you dot your i's

            G                     B
Well I was born in Indiana thirty years ago

        C                 D
I got a mean, mean hunger down below
[Chorus]
         G                    Cadd9 Dsus4
I'm gonna wrap up my troubles

         G                    Dsus4 Cadd9
I'm gonna wrap up my troubles

         G                    B C D
I'm gonna wrap up my troubles

   G   Dsus4 Cadd9
in you
G Gdim C C7 (x2)
