[INTRO]
C * G * C * G * C * [Em] [D] [G]
[VERSE 1]
[G]Waiting on the sunrise, [C]given up on sleep
[Em]My onl[Em7]y thoughts [Em]are with you all [Am]back home in [C]Tenne[G]ssee [C2] [G]
[G]They're dug in on the hilltop, we got [C]cover in the trees
[Em]Betwee[Em7]n the two a[Em]n open field that [Am]looks like [C]hell to [G]me [C2] [G]
[CHORUS]
[Em] [C] * [G]
And to my dearest wife I write

Kiss our baby girls tonight

Tomorrow's battle will not wait
[Em]I don't see no [C]other [G]way
C * G * C * G * C * [Em] [D] [G]
[VERSE 2]
[G]I could see in the old house, [C]not too long ago
[Em]Every n[Em7]ight I slept by yo[Em]ur side, h[Am]appy just b[C]eing h[G]ome [C2] [G]
[G]I hear'em calling reveille, [C]I can see the sun
[Em]It break[Em7]s my heart, we're kept a[Em]part, [Am]still fighting [C]to be [G]done [C2] [G]

[Bridge]
[C] * [G] [C] * [G]
Mine eyes have seen the glory
[C] * [Em] [D] [C]
The glory of the coming of the Lord
[C] * [G] [C] * [G]
And he is trampling at the vintage
[C] * [Em] [D] [G]
The vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored
[C] * [G] [C] * [G]
[C] * [Em] [D] [C]
[C] * [G] [C] * [G]
[C] * [Em] [D] [G]

[G]Now the sun is risen, you [C]mean the world to me
[Em]My tho[Em7]ughts must turn to work [Em]at hand, [Am]far from [C]Tennes[G]see [C] [G]
[G]They're dug in on the hilltop, we [C]leave the cover of the trees
[Em]We'll [Em7]march across that open [Em]field that [Am]looks like [C]hell to [G]me [C] [G]
[FINAL CHORUS]
[Em]And to my dearest [C]wife I [G]write
[Em]Kiss our baby [C]girls to[G]night
[Em]Tomorrow's battle [C]will not [G]wait
[Em]I don't see no [C]other [G]way
[Em]The bride of war wears [C]blood and [G]fire
[Em]Hand in hand Death [C]walks bes[G]ide her
[Em]We'll cross the field, lay [C]all to[G] waste
[Em]I don't see no [C]other [G]way
[Em]And to my dearest [C]wife I [G]write
[Em]Kiss our baby [C]girls to[G]night
