[Intro]
| Em A7 | D ||
[Verse 1]
D Em
Right now I feel like a forgotten soldier,
A7 D
I've been eight hours on the road.
D Em
Doesn't anybody see me standing here
A7 D
in my soldier's coat?
Em** A7** D
And rain ain't kindly to a weary man
Em A7
and passing cars look snug and warm.
D Em
There ain't no comforts for a forgotten soldier,
A7 D
standing in the storm.
[Chorus]
A7 D
Hey! I think I'll read your crumpled letter one more time
A7 D
to reassure me that our love has stood the test.
A7 D
Hey, the words you wrote are poetry to me that is,
Em A7
and I cherish them and hold them to my breast.
[Verse 2]
D Em
Deep down I know that I'm no forgotten soldier,
A7 D
though you're a million stars away.
D Em
Soon friendly headlights will be shining down
A7 D
and slowing down for me.
Em** A7** D
And there will be a place to close my eyes
Em A7
and almost feel the kiss
D Em
from lips that tell me I'm no forgotten soldier,
A7 D
somewhere in the mist.
[Chorus]
A7 D
Hey! I think I'll read your crumpled letter one more time
A7 D
to reassure me that our love has stood the test.
A7 D
Hey, the words you wrote are poetry to me that is,
Em A7
and I cherish them and hold them to my breast.
[Verse 3]
D Em
So, when I feel like a forgotten soldier
A7 D
and when the night is extra long,
D Em
that crumpled letter is my inspiration,
A7 D
the words just push me on.
Em** A7** D
They wash my blues away with memories
Em A7
that we will soon renew.
D Em
And then I won't be a for - gotten soldier
A7 D
when I am home with you.
[Outro]
D Em
And then I won't be a for - gotten soldier
A7 D
when I am home with you.
D Em
No, I won't be a for - gotten soldier
A7 D***
when I am home with you.
