[C]
Verse 1:
[C] My dearest son it's almost June,
I hope this letter catches up with you,
And [F] finds you well,
[C] It's been dry but they're callin for rain,
Everything's the same ol' same,
In [F] Johnsonville,
[Am] Your stuborn old [G] daddy ain't said too [F] much,
But I'm sure you know he [Dm] sends his love,
And she goes [G] on, in a letter from [C] home,
|[Chorus]
|[F] I hold it up and show my buddy's like we ain't scared
|and our boots ain't muddy, And [C] they all laugh,
|Like there's [G] somethin funny bout the way I [Am] talk,
|When I say mama sends her [F] best ya'll,
|I [F] fold it up and put it in my shirt,
|Pick up my gun and get back to work,
|[C] And it [G] keeps me drivin [Am] on,
|Waitin [F] on, [G] Letters from [C] home,
Verse 2:
[C] My dearest love it's almost dawn,
I've been lyin here all night long,
Wonderin [F] where you might be,
[C] I saw your mama and I showed her the ring,
Man on the television said something,
[F] So I couldn't sleep,
[Am] But I'll be [G] alright I'm just missin [F] you,
And this is me [Dm] kissin you, X's and [G] O's,
In a letter from [C] home,
[Chorus]
Bridge:
[F] Dear son I know I ain't written,
But [F] sittin here tonight alone in the kitchen it [C] occurs to me,
I [G] might not have said it so I'll [Am] say it now,
Son you make me [F] proud, [G] [F]
|[Chorus]
|[F] I hold it up and show my buddy's like we ain't scared
|and our boots ain't muddy, but no [C] one laughs,
|Cause there [G] ain't nothin funny when a [Am] soldier cries,
|And I just [F] wipe my eyes,
|[F] I fold it up and put it in my shirt,
|Pick up my gun and get back to work,
|[C] And it [G] keeps me drivin [Am] on,
|Waitin [F] on, [G] Letters from [C] home,
