[Verse 1]
[Am]All the days of his life[G],
worked so [F]hard [E]just to sur[Am]vive.
All the nights that he [G]cried,
so much [F]pain [E]he could not [Am]hide.
Day and [G]night,
he [C]was told just what to do,
[G]forced to work so that [C]he
could get some food
Then [F]one night [G]he slipped away
so [C]freedom could [G]be [Am]found
The [F]day they mailed the [E]man

[F][E][Am]
Standing there, now on the [G]run
Found a [F]friend [Em]there [E]in
[Am]Richmond
Placed him down, flat on his [G]face
Closed the [F]box, [E]no escap[Am]e
Day and [G]night,
he was [C]tossed from side to side
[G]In the dark, he [C]could feel the bumpy ride
It's
[F]R .I .C.
[G]Roll around and [C]praise the [G]guy I [Am]love
The [F]day they mailed a [E]man,

[E][Am]
Two feet wide, not very [G]deep
The box [F]was small,
[E]it couldn't match the[Am]
Two whole days he could not [G]eat
His head was [F]pressed [E]against his [Am]feet
Far [G]away in a
[C]Pennsylvania town
The marks are [G]on all [C]the folks
who're standing around
They [F]pulled him out, he [G]gave a shot,
he's [C]thankful [Am]he was found
The [F]day they mailed [E]me
