Verse 1:
C                     G              C
I see the programs on TV are gettin' better
                     G        C
And the music on the radio is fine

I've got lots of record too
       F
That I play and think of you
D                                     G
But that don't keep the worry from my mind

Chorus:
C                                    G
When the Peterborough postman passes by I cry
                                  C
And I wonder why we ever said goodbye

Sometimes I want to leave this town forever
                          G             C
But my heart won't let me go 'til you return

And when all the house is still
      F
I sit beside my window sill
D                                  G
Waiting, watching, worried while I yearn

C                                    G
When the Peterborough postman passes by I cry
                                  C

And the Peterborough Postman passes by

And the Peterborough Postman passes by
