 I got your letter, To-day, And I miss you, Oh, So much here
     Am        C       C      G   G7
 I can't wait, To see you all, And I'm counting, The days dear
      F         C      C      F
 I still believe that there's gold, At the end of the world
        C Csus4    C Csus4    C     G C Csus4 C Csus4
 And I'll come home, To Illinois, On the day after tomorrow

      C Csus4       C Csus4     C        G  G7
 It is so hard, And it's cold here,  And I'm tired of taking orders
       Am      C         C     G  G7
 And I miss old Rockford town,  Up by the Wisconsin border
     F        C         C        F
 What I miss you won't believe, Shovelling snow and raking leaves
     C Csus4     C Csus4   C     G  C Csus4 C Csus4
 And my plane, Will touch down, On the day after tomorrow

       C Csus4    C Csus4    C        G  G7
 I close my eyes, Every night,  And I dream, That I can hold you
            Am       C          C       G  G7
 They fill us full of lies, Everyone buys, 'Bout what it means to be a soldier
           F          C          C         F
 I still don't know how I'm supposed to feel, 'Bout all the blood that's been spilled
          C Csus4       C Csus4    C     G C Csus4 C Csus4
 Will God on his throne, Get me back home, On the day after tomorrow

      C Csus4     C Csus4       C        G  G7
 You can't deny, The other side, Don't want to die anymore than we do
          Am          C       C       G G7
 What I'm tryin' to say, Is don't they pray, To the same God that we do
     F       C        C        F
 Tell me how does God choose,  Whose prayers does he refuse
         C Csus4       C Csus4   C     G C Csus4 C Csus4
 Who turns the wheel, Who throws the dice, On the day after tomorrow

 INST:     F   F       C
     Mmm mmmmm mmmmmmm mmmmmm mmmmm
        F   F       C   G
     Mmm mmmmm mmmmmmm mmmmmm mmmmm mmmmm

      C Csus4    C Csus4      C      G  G7
 I'm not fighting, For justice, I am not fighting for freedom
     Am       C         C     G    G7
 I am fighting, For my life, And another day in the world here
    F         C           C      F
 I just do what I've been told, We're just the gravel in the road
           C Csus4  C Csus4    C     G C Csus4 C Csus4
 And only the lucky ones, Come home, On the day after tomorrow

      C Csus4      C Csus4       C         G    G7
 And the Summer, It too will fade, And with it brings the Winters frost dear
    Am        C         C         G   G7
 And I know, We too are made, Of all the things that we have lost here
      F     C       C      F
 I'll be twenty-one today, I been saving all my pay
     C Csus4      C Csus4    C      G C Csus4
 And my plane, Will touch down,  On the day after tomorrow
     C Csus4      C Csus4    C      G  C Csus4 C Csus4  C
 And my plane, Will touch down,  On the day after tomorrow
