 I got your letter, To-day, And I miss you, Oh, So much here
     A minorAm        C majorC       C majorC      G+G   G7G7
 I can't wait, To see you all, And I'm counting, The days dear
      FF         C majorC      C majorC      FF
 I still believe that there's gold, At the end of the world
        C majorC Csus4Csus4    C majorC Csus4Csus4    C majorC     G+G C majorC Csus4Csus4 C majorC Csus4Csus4
 And I'll come home, To Illinois, On the day after tomorrow

      C majorC Csus4Csus4       C majorC Csus4Csus4     C majorC        G+G  G7G7
 It is so hard, And it's cold here,  And I'm tired of taking orders
       A minorAm      C majorC         C majorC     G+G  G7G7
 And I miss old Rockford town,  Up by the Wisconsin border
     FF        C majorC         C majorC        FF
 What I miss you won't believe, Shovelling snow and raking leaves
     C majorC Csus4Csus4     C majorC Csus4Csus4   C majorC     G+G  C majorC Csus4Csus4 C majorC Csus4Csus4
 And my plane, Will touch down, On the day after tomorrow

       C majorC Csus4Csus4    C majorC Csus4Csus4    C majorC        G+G  G7G7
 I close my eyes, Every night,  And I dream, That I can hold you
            A minorAm       C majorC          C majorC       G+G  G7G7
 They fill us full of lies, Everyone buys, 'Bout what it means to be a soldier
           FF          C majorC          C majorC         FF
 I still don't know how I'm supposed to feel, 'Bout all the blood that's been spilled
          C majorC Csus4Csus4       C majorC Csus4Csus4    C majorC     G+G C majorC Csus4Csus4 C majorC Csus4Csus4
 Will God on his throne, Get me back home, On the day after tomorrow

      C majorC Csus4Csus4     C majorC Csus4Csus4       C majorC        G+G  G7G7
 You can't deny, The other side, Don't want to die anymore than we do
          A minorAm          C majorC       C majorC       G+G G7G7
 What I'm tryin' to say, Is don't they pray, To the same God that we do
     FF       C majorC        C majorC        FF
 Tell me how does God choose,  Whose prayers does he refuse
         C majorC Csus4Csus4       C majorC Csus4Csus4   C majorC     G+G C majorC Csus4Csus4 C majorC Csus4Csus4
 Who turns the wheel, Who throws the dice, On the day after tomorrow

 INST:     FF   FF       C majorC
     Mmm mmmmm mmmmmmm mmmmmm mmmmm
        FF   FF       C majorC   G+G
     Mmm mmmmm mmmmmmm mmmmmm mmmmm mmmmm

      C majorC Csus4Csus4    C majorC Csus4Csus4      C majorC      G+G  G7G7
 I'm not fighting, For justice, I am not fighting for freedom
     A minorAm       C majorC         C majorC     G+G    G7G7
 I am fighting, For my life, And another day in the world here
    FF         C majorC           C majorC      FF
 I just do what I've been told, We're just the gravel in the road
           C majorC Csus4Csus4  C majorC Csus4Csus4    C majorC     G+G C majorC Csus4Csus4 C majorC Csus4Csus4
 And only the lucky ones, Come home, On the day after tomorrow

      C majorC Csus4Csus4      C majorC Csus4Csus4       C majorC         G+G    G7G7
 And the Summer, It too will fade, And with it brings the Winters frost dear
    A minorAm        C majorC         C majorC         G+G   G7G7
 And I know, We too are made, Of all the things that we have lost here
      FF     C majorC       C majorC      FF
 I'll be twenty-one today, I been saving all my pay
     C majorC Csus4Csus4      C majorC Csus4Csus4    C majorC      G+G C majorC Csus4Csus4
 And my plane, Will touch down,  On the day after tomorrow
     C majorC Csus4Csus4      C majorC Csus4Csus4    C majorC      G+G  C majorC Csus4Csus4 C majorC Csus4Csus4  C majorC
 And my plane, Will touch down,  On the day after tomorrow
