[Verse 1]
G
My dearest son it’s almost June,

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

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[

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

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 this is me kissin’ you, X’s and O’s, in a letter from home
[Pre-Chorus]

I hold it up and show my buddies,
Cadd9
Like we ain’t scared and our boots ain’t muddy

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
[Chorus]

I fold it up and put it in my shirt

Pick up my gun and get back to work

And it keeps me drivin’ on

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
Cadd9 D Dsus4 D G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Waitin’ on, letters from home
