Verse 1:

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

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

      Cadd9 D      G   Cadd9 G Cadd9
 Waitin’ on,   letters from home

Verse 2:

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

 I hold it up and show my buddies,

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

  G             D/F#
 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

 I fold it up and put it in my shirt

 Pick up my gun and get back to work

 Waitin’ on,   letters from home

Verse 3:

Cadd9
 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

   Cadd9
 Pick up my gun and get back to work

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