[G] [Cadd9] [G] [Cadd9]
[VERSE 1]
[G] My dearest son it’s almost June,
I hope this letter catches up with you, and[Cadd9] finds you well
[G] It’s been dry but they’re callin’ for rain
And everything’s the same ol’ same in[Cadd9] Johnsonville
[Em7/B] Your stubborn ol’[D] Daddy ain’t said too[Cadd9] much
But I’m sure you know he[Am] sends his love
And she goes[D] on[Dsus4] , [D] in a letter from[G] home
[PRE-CHORUS]
[Cadd9] I hold it up and show my buddies,
Like[Cadd9] we ain’t scared and our boots ain’t muddy
And[G] they all laugh like there’s[D/F#] somethin’ funny,
About the[Em7/B] way I talk, when I say Momma sends her[Cadd9] best yall
[CHORUS]
[Cadd9] I fold it up and put it in my shirt
Pick[Cadd9] up my gun and get back to work
[G] And it[D/F#] keeps me drivin’ on[Em7/B]
Waitin’ on[Cadd9] , [D] letters from[G] home [Cadd9] [G] [Cadd9]
[VERSE 2]
[G] My dearest love it’s almost dawn,
I’ve been lying here all night long, wonderin’[Cadd9] where you might be
[G] I saw your Momma and I showed her the ring
Man on the television said some thing,[Cadd9] so I couldn’t sleep
[Em7/B] But I’ll be a[D]lright I’m just missin’[Cadd9] you
And this is me[Am] kissin’ you, X’s and[D] O’s[Dsus4] , [D] in a letter from[G] home
[PRE-CHORUS]
[Cadd9] I hold it up and show my buddies,
Like[Cadd9] we ain’t scared and our boots ain’t muddy
And[G] they all laugh cause’ you[D/F#] call me honey
But they[Em7/B] take it hard, cause I don’t read the[Cadd9] good parts
[CHORUS]
[Cadd9] I fold it up and put it in my shirt
Pick[Cadd9] up my gun and get back to work
[G] And it[D/F#] keeps me drivin’ on[Em7/B]
Waitin’ on[Cadd9] , [D] letters from[G] home
[VERSE 3]
[Cadd9] Dear son I know I ain’t written
And[Cadd9] sittin’ here tonight alone in the kitchen
It [G]occurs to me, I[D/F#] might not have said it
So[Em7/B] I’ll say it now, son you[Cadd9] make me proud
[PRE-CHORUS]
[Cadd9] I hold it up and show my buddies,
Like[Cadd9] we ain’t scared and our boots ain’t muddy
But no[G] one laughs cause there[D/F#] ain’t nothin’ funny
When a[Em7/B] soldier cries, and I just[Cadd9] wipe my eyes
[CHORUS]
[Cadd9] I fold it up and put it in my shirt
Pick[Cadd9] up my gun and get back to work
[G] And it[D/F#] keeps me drivin’ on[Em7/B]
Waitin’ on[Cadd9] , [D] [Dsus4] [D] letters from[G] home [Cadd9] [G] [Cadd9] [G] [Cadd9] [G]
