SOLDIER'S LAST LETTER
 
 C                            G7 
When the postman delivered a letter
                                 C 
It filled her dear heart full of joy
                             D7 
But she didn't know till she read the inside
           G7                        C 
It was the last one from her darling boy
 
                             G7 
Dear Mom was the way that it started
                           C 
I miss you so much it went on
                       D7 
Mom I didn't know that I loved you so 
         G7                        C 
But I'll prove it when this war is won
 
                                  G7 
I'm writing this down in a trench Mom
                           C 
Don't scold if it isn't so neat
                    D7 
You know as you did when I was a kid
        G7                       C 
And I'd come home with mud on my feet
 
                             G7 
The captain just gave us our orders
                           C 
And Mom we will carry them through
                            D7 
I'll finish this letter the first chance I get
          G7                 C 
But now I'll just say I love you
 
                                     G7 
Then the mother's old hands began to tremble
                                    C 
And she fought against tears in her eyes
                            D7 
But they came unashamed for there was no name 
        G7                        C 
And she knew that her darling had died
 
                               G7 
That night as she knelt by her bedside
                              C 
She prayed Lord above hear my plea
                         D7 
And protect all the sons that are fighting tonight
         G7               C 
And dear God keep America free
