Dear Sister by Claire Lynch


Intro:
|C |C/B |Am |F/A |C/G |C/G |G |G

Verse:
           C          C/B
This could be my last letter
      Am            F/A              C          G
I may never see the cotton fields of home again
  C              C/B
I miss you, Dear Sister
    Am            F/A               C G
To- night I never felt so all alone

Chorus:
        Am         F              C       Am    G
And the fog was so thick that the Stone's River stars
      Am           F        C     Am      G
Could scarcely in- vade the dread and the dark
    C                C/B        Am                G
And all that I could see when I closed my eyes to dream
C/E       F C Am    G
Was home, sweet home

Solo:
|Dm |Am |G |G

Verse:
       C              C/B
In the camps of Round Forest
    Am       G          F                   C    G
The midnight coals were glowing through the haze
    C               C/B
The union boys sang Hail Columbia
Am   F                  C         G
Then we sang Look Away, Look Away

Chorus:
           Am          F              C      Am        G
And then a hush in the rain and there rose a sweet re- frain
       Am          F         C        Am     G
In the dark before dawn, in- stead of battle songs
    D         D/C#   Bm            A
The enemy and we all sang a melody
          F C Am    G
Was home, sweet home

Solo:
|C |C/B |Am |F |C |CAm|G |G |
|C |C/B |Am |F |C |CAm|G |G |
|Am |F |CAm|G |Am |F |C |CAm|G

Verse:
      C               C/B
So if this is my last letter
      Am        G   F                C/G        G
And I never see the cotton fields of home again
     C                     C/B
If I fall here at Stone?fs River
  Am        G        F            C               G
I know that God will bear away my soul to be with Him

Chorus:
         Am   G       F           C      Am         G
And I'll wait for you there where all is bright and fair
          Am    G      F         C          Am       G
Where the light of His face out- shines the Blue and Gray
      C             C/B        Am             G
Where all of human- kind, yes, every man will find
C/E       F C Am    G
His home, sweet home
