Dear Customer Complaint Department
D                     C      G
I have nothing to complain about
     C                        D 
In fact, I have nothing but good things to say
  C           D      G
About your company today

 G                 D
Let me begin by saying
         C         G                          D
That normally, I avoid your store like the plague
        G           D    
But recently on a drive to Dallas
    C                      D
My car broke down on the side of the road
     G                      D
In West, Texas, not the direction
          C     D     G
But the town called West

              G
It was the battery
          D                            C   D   G
I got a jump-start for free with my Triple-A card
          G                  D
But the local mom-and-pop garage
           C                    D
Were unfortunately unable to assuage
        G                          D                    G
My electrical conundrum 'cause my car is not American-made

            G                      D
So still running from my earlier jump-start,
    C             
I drove on down the road,
              D
and for the first time in my life,
   C              D        G   
Praying that I'd see a Wal-Mart

        G                           D
Now normally your store is like a virus
             C
Like Miley Cyrus
       D
In a teen magazine
  G                       D   
Every five miles on the road,
         C
Like a toad
      C         D               G  
A monstrous amphibian on the horizon,
    C        D             G
Entirely blocking out the sun

      G                              D
But today Murphy's Law was riding shotgun
          C
I didn't see one
      D    G
For 47.5 miles

           G                     D
And as I drove into Lancaster, Texas
         C                 D
That alabaster albatross arose out of the darkness
        G                       D   
And I cried tears of joy as I drove around the back
         C        D     G
To the Tire and Lube Garage

         D                            G
And I jumped out with my car still running
            G                      D        
I asked a jump-suited employee if he could change my battery
          C            D        G
But he didn't have a smile for me
            G                 D
He said, "Forty-five minute wait"
         C                        D
But in forty-five minutes I was going to be late
        G                          D  
To my very first show at Uncle Calvin's Coffee House
        C          D        G
At a church in northeast Dallas

       G                             D 
So I stood under the late afternoon sun
        C      
On the hot asphalt
           D
My car continued to run...
         G                               D
And I thought, "this is the end of the line..."
         C             
I was running out of gas
       D
And running out of time
    G                    D
Figuring I'd finish my days
         C                           D      
In a Wal-Mart parking lot, in a heat-stroke haze

          G                    D 
When an angel appeared at my side
            C                             D 
And her name-tag read 'Angela,' she had pity in her eyes
             G                    D        C                       D
She said, "Pull in to Bay number two, and pop your hood, and I'll see what I can do"
            C             D              G
And she examined the dimensions of my battery
         C                                  D
Said, "Yeah, I think we have that. I'll go get it for you."
         G                           D
And the sun began to feel like my friend
      C                          D
And when she returned, she had tools to lend
       G                  D  
And Angela and I worked side-by-side
      C                                    D
As though we'd worked together since the dawn of time
  G                   D     
Five minutes later, when I tried to pay her,
            C             D
She said, "Pay for the battery,
     C         D         G
But you don't owe me anything"

 G               D
As I turned to leave,
             C     
She said, "Write a letter to Wal-Mart
      D
And tell them what you think of me"...

     G               C
So Dear Customer Complaint Department,
D                     C      G
I have nothing to complain about
     C                        D
In fact, I have nothing but good things to say
   C                           D
Please pass on my thanks to Angela today
     C           D          G
And you should give her a raise...
     C       D    G
And let her unionize
    Am     Bm  C  D
Sincerely,
  G
Matt.
