Tuning: E A D G B E
[Intro]
C G C G C Em D G
[Verse 1]
G Cadd9
Waiting on the sunrise, I've given up on sleep
Em D Cadd9 G C G
My only thoughts are with you all back home in Tennessee
G Cadd9
They dug in on the hilltop, we got cover in the trees
Em D Cadd9 G C G
Between the two and open field, it looks like hell to me
[Chorus]
Em C G
To my dearest wife I write
Em C G
Kiss our baby girls tonight
Em C G
Tomorrow’s battle will not wait
Em C G
I don’t see no other way
C G C G C Em D G
[Verse 2]
G Cadd9
I could see the old house, not too long ago
Em D Cadd9 G C G
Every night I slept by your side,happy just being home
G Cadd9
Can hear em’ callin Reveille, I can see the sun
Em D Cadd9 G C G
It breaks my heart, we're kept apart, still fighting to be done
[Chorus]
Em C G
To my dearest wife I write
Em C G
Kiss our baby girls tonight
Em C G
Tomorrow’s battle will not wait
Em C G
I don’t see no other way
[Bridge]
G C G
My eyes have seen the glory
Em D G
The glory of the coming of the Lord
G C G
And he is trampling at the vintage
Em D G
The vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored
[Verse 3]
G Cadd9
Now the sun is risen, you mean the world to me
Em D Cadd9 G C G
My thoughts must turn to work at hand, far from Tennessee
G Cadd9
They're dug in on the hilltop, we leave the cover of the trees
Em D Cadd9 G C G
We'll march across that open field that looks like hell to me
[Chorus]
Em C G
To my dearest wife I write
Em C G
Kiss our baby girls tonight
Em C G
Tomorrow’s battle will not wait
Em C G
I don’t see no other way
Em C G
The bride of war wears blood and fire
Em C G
Hand in hand Death walks beside her
Em C G
We'll cross the field, lay all to waste
Em C G
I don't see no other way
Em C G
And to my dearest wife I write
Em C G
Kiss our baby girls tonight
