[C]I''m writing this down in a t[G]rench Mom
Don''t scold if it isn''t so[C] neat
The way that you did when [D]I was a kid
And I''d [G]come home with mud on my[C] feet
[C]The captain just gave us our o[G]rders
And Mom we will carry them th[C]rough
And I''ll finish this letter the f[D]irst chance I get
But for n[G]ow I''ll just say I love [C]you
[C]Then the mother''s old hands began to [G]tremble
As she fought against tears in her e[C]yes
But they came unashamed for th[D]ere was no name
And she k[G]new that her Soldier had d[C]ied
[C]Then the mother knelt by her beds[G]ide
And she prayed ''God above hear my [C]plea
And protect all the sons that a[D]re fighting this war
And dear G[G]od keep America f[C]ree [A]
I''m w[D]riting this down in a t[A]rench Mom
[OUTRO]
Don''t scold if it isn''t so n[D]eat
Don''t scold if it isn''t so[C] neat
The way that you did when [D]I was a kid
And I''d [G]come home with mud on my[C] feet
[C]The captain just gave us our o[G]rders
And Mom we will carry them th[C]rough
And I''ll finish this letter the f[D]irst chance I get
But for n[G]ow I''ll just say I love [C]you
[C]Then the mother''s old hands began to [G]tremble
As she fought against tears in her e[C]yes
But they came unashamed for th[D]ere was no name
And she k[G]new that her Soldier had d[C]ied
[C]Then the mother knelt by her beds[G]ide
And she prayed ''God above hear my [C]plea
And protect all the sons that a[D]re fighting this war
And dear G[G]od keep America f[C]ree [A]

Don''t scold if it isn''t so n[D]eat
