Verse

Today was Angie's birthday
           Bb7          Eb
I guess it slipped your mind
                 Bb
I tried twice to call you
                     F
But no answer either time
        Bb      F         Bb
But the postman brought a present
             Bb7   Eb
I mailed some days ago
                           Bb
I just signed it love from mama
   F              Bb
So Angie wouldn't know.
