Verse
    A minorAm      G+G          FF       A minorAm
Dearest Sarah I'm compelled to write with aching fearful hands
A minorAm       G+G       FF
Just in case I never make it back
 A minorAm       G+G       FF
I left our family weeks ago for battle stricken lands
   A minorAm       G+G        A minorAm
And I fear I wont survive the next attack

 A minorAm         G+G      FF        A minorAm
I fled Rhode Island willingly to join the Union force
    A minorAm      G+G      FF
Understanding I may never know my boys
     A minorAm           G+G      FF       A minorAm
But this country's strength of government is in a great divorce
    A minorAm       G+G        A minorAm
And for this I risk my life and all its joys

  A minorAm     G+G       FF      A minorAm
Oh Sarah I do understand within my sacrifice
   A minorAm      G+G       FF
Goes nearly every joy for you as well
   A minorAm         G+G       FF        A minorAm
But I hope you sense within my words I thought about it twice
    A minorAm       G+G       A minorAm
But our nation cast a thick momentus spell

  A minorAm      G+G
Oh Sarah start a life without me
A minorAm        G+G
Raise our boys to gentlemen
A minorAm        G+G       FF       A minorAm
Thrive until the day you pass away and we can meet again
A minorAm      G+G
Understand my inner fight
 A minorAm        G+G
I didn't choose the war
 A minorAm      G+G
I sided with democracy
  FF      C majorC
As that is what I'm dying for
  FF     A minorAm       C majorC
Oh Sarah - my love for you is deathless
  G+G             A minorAm
Oh Sarah - my love for you is deathless

Verse
    A minorAm      G+G       FF      A minorAm
Growing up without my father weighed heavy on my brain
   A minorAm         G+G          FF
And I dread this makes my children dance that waltz
    A minorAm         G+G              FF        A minorAm
And I'm sure at times your trust was breached and your love for me did wane
    A minorAm      G+G        A minorAm
But I ask you to forgive me for these faults

   A minorAm        G+G      FF        A minorAm
And I can't express the irony of the peaceful summer breeze
A minorAm      G+G       FF
Dusting my batallion as they rest
      A minorAm       G+G        FF      C majorC
'Cause within this evening warmness lies a dark and icy freeze
    D MajorD               A minorAm
That whispered me to send you this request


A minorAm        G+G
Oh Sarah start a life without me
A minorAm        G+G
Raise our boys to gentlemen
A minorAm        G+G       FF       A minorAm
Thrive until the day you pass away and we can meet again
A minorAm      G+G
Understand my inner fight
 A minorAm        G+G
I didn't choose the war
 A minorAm      G+G
I sided with democracy
  FF      C majorC
As that is what I'm dying for
  FF             C majorC
Oh Sarah - my love for you is deathless
  G+G      A minorAm
Oh Sarah - it's deathless

Verse
   A minorAm       G+G        FF        A minorAm
I am one of hundred thousand paying all that we can pay
A minorAm       G+G        FF
Standing for an object we can't see
  A minorAm         G+G       FF         A minorAm
Now raise our children proudly to be graceous for each day
   A minorAm        G+G        A minorAm
And remind them of the reasons they are free

    A minorAm        G+G      FF           A minorAm
If it's true the dead can drift unseen around the loves they had
   A minorAm      G+G       FF
Then I will be the wind upon your cheek
    A minorAm           G+G     FF      A minorAm
And the darkest moments in your life will never be so bad
   A minorAm       G+G           A minorAm
Cause I will be your strength when you are weak


A minorAm        G+G
Oh Sarah start a life without me
A minorAm        G+G
Raise our boys to gentlemen
A minorAm        G+G       FF       A minorAm
Thrive until the day you pass away and we can meet again
A minorAm      G+G
Understand my inner fight
 A minorAm        G+G
I didn't choose the war
 A minorAm      G+G
I sided with democracy
  FF      C majorC
As that is what I'm dying for
  FF             C majorC
Oh Sarah - my love for you is deathless

Oh Sarah, my love for you is deathless
  G+G             A minorAm
Oh Sarah, my love for you is deathless
