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
           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
               Am                   D   Dsus4 D                G
 And this is me kissin’ you, X’s and O’s,      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 cause’ you call me honey
         Em7/B                                Cadd9
 But they take it hard, cause I don’t read the good parts
 
[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
 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
