The Typewriter Song (Original song)

[G]Dear you, how [C]have you been?
It's nice to catch up every [G]now and then.
I hope this letter [Em]finds you well
[A]until we can meet [D]again.

[G]I could just post a comment on your [C]latest status,
or send a couple tweets your [G]way.
But I guess I'm kinda hoping when you [Em]check your snail mail,
that this [A]letter will brighten your [D]day.

Chorus:
[G]I've got my typewriter and I'm typing a letter.
Yes, I'm [C]typing a letter just to [D]say hello.
[G]It's not as fast as email,
and I've got no spell checker.
[C]But with my bottle of White-Out,
[D]I'm good to [G]go.


[G]Call me old [C]fashioned,
or a vintage techno [G]geek.
But the percussion of the type bars [Em]crashing one by one
and the [A]margin bell are music to [D]me.

[G]I've got to think a bit 'bout what I [C]want to say.
I've got no copy or [G]paste.
I've organized my thoughts and now I'm [Em]ready to start:
[A]Batta batta bing batta [D]bay.

[A]Batta batta batta bing, batta [D]bay!

*Chorus*

Boy, when you write a letter, you go all out! There really is something satisfying about typing on an old manual. It gives the words a weight they somehow don't get on a computer. I love the whimsicality of this and the bell at the end. Just right! Great job, Carmen. The cows said, "Hello." Well, actually, they said, "Moo!" but I took the liberty of translating.
