Tuning: E A D G B E
[Verse 1]
G G C D
I took time to write to my old friend
G G C D
I walked across that burning bridge
G G C D
I mailed my letter off to Dallas
G G C D
but her reply came from Anchorage, Alaska
[Verse 2]
G G C D
She said hey girl, it's about time you wrote
G G C D
It's been over two years my old friend
G G C D
Take me back to the days of foreign telegrams
G G C D
And the all night rock and rolling
G G C D
Hey 'Chel we were wild then
[Chorus 1]
G G C D
Hey 'Chel, you know it's kind of funny
G G C D
Texas always seemed so big
G G C D
But you know you're in the largest state in the union
G G C D
When you're anchored down in Anchorage
[Verse 3]
G G C D
Hey girl, I think the last time I saw you
G G C D
Was on me and Leroy's wedding day
G G C D
What was the name of that love song you played
G G C D
I forgot how it goes, I don't recall how it goes
[Instrumental]

Leroy got a better job so we moved

Kevin lost as tooth, he's started school
G G C D
I've got a brand new eight month baby girl
G G C D
I sound like a housewife
G G C D
Hey 'Chel, I think I'm a housewife
[Verse 5]
G G C D
Hey girl, what's it like to be in New York City
G G C D
New York city, Imagine that

What's it like to be a skateboard punk rocker?
G G C D
Leroy says send a picture
G G C D
Leroy says hello

Leroy says hey keep on rocking, girl
G G C D
Yeh, keep on rocking
[Chorus 2]

Hey 'Chel, you know it's kind of funny

G G C D
Anchored down in Anchorage

I took the time to write to my old friend
I walked across that burning bridge
I mailed my letter off to Dallas but
Her reply came from Anchorage, Alaska
She said Hey girl it's about time you wrote
Its been over two years now my old friend
Take me back to the days of the foreign telegrams
And the all night rock'n rollin' hey Chel
We was wild then
Hey Chel you know it's kinda funny
Texas always seems so big
But you know you're in the largest State in the Union
When you're anchored down in Anchorage
Hey girl I think the last time I saw you
Was on me and Leroys wedding day
What was the name of that
Love song you played
I forgot how it goes
I don't recall how it goes

Kevin lost a tooth, he's starting school
I got a brand new eight month old baby girl
I sound like a housewife
I think I'm a housewife
Hey girl what's it like to be in New York
New York City imagine that
What's it like to be a skateboard punk rocker
Leroy says send a picture
Leroy says hello
Leroy says keep on rocking girl
Yeh keep on rocking
