G
 My dearest son it’s almost June,

                                            Cadd9
 I hope this letter catches up with you, and finds you well

G
 It’s been dry but they’re callin’ for rain

                                      Cadd9
 And everything’s the same ol’ same in Johnsonville

Em7/B             D                    Cadd9
 Your stubborn ol’ Daddy ain’t said too much

                         Am
 But I’m sure you know he sends his love

             D  Dsus4 D                G
 And she goes on,      in a letter from home

[Pre-Chorus[

Cadd9
 I hold it up and show my buddies,

     Cadd9
 Like we ain’t scared and our boots ain’t muddy

    G                           D/F#
 And they all laugh like there’s somethin’ funny,

          Em7/B                                  Cadd9
 About the way I talk, when I say Momma sends her best yall

Chorus:

Cadd9
 I fold it up and put it in my shirt

     Cadd9
 Pick up my gun and get back to work

G      D/F#                Em7/B
 And it keeps me drivin’ on

G
 My dearest love it’s almost dawn,

                                               Cadd9
 I’ve been lying here all night long, wonderin’ where you might be

G
 I saw your Momma and I showed her the ring

                                       Cadd9
 Man on the television said some thing, so I couldn’t sleep

Em7/B         D                      Cadd9
 But I’ll be alright I’m just missin’ you

               Am                   D   Dsus4 D                G

 And they all laugh cause’ you call me honey

         Em7/B                                Cadd9
 But they take it hard, cause I don’t read the good parts

 Dear son I know I ain’t written

    Cadd9
 And sittin’ here tonight alone in the kitchen

    G              D/F#
 It occurs to me, I might not have said it

   Em7/B                    Cadd9
 So I’ll say it now, son you make me proud

Pre-Chorus:

Cadd9
 I hold it up and show my buddies,

     Cadd9
 Like we ain’t scared and our boots ain’t muddy

       G                      D/F#
 But no one laughs cause there ain’t nothin’ funny

       Em7/B                     Cadd9
 When a soldier cries, and I just wipe my eyes

Chorus:

Cadd9
 I fold it up and put it in my shirt

 Pick up my gun and get back to work

G      D/F#                Em7/B
 And it keeps me drivin’ on
