[Intro 1]
[G][G][G][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]My Dearest son, it's almost June
I hope this letter catches up with you
And [C]finds you well
[G]It's been dry
But they're callin' for rain
And everything's the same old same
[C]In Johnsonville

[Pre-chorus 1]
[Em]Your stubborn old dadd[D]y
Ain't said too [C]much
But I'm sure you know
He [Am]sends his love
And she goes [D]on
In a letter from [G]home

[Chorus 1]
[C]I hold it up and show my buddies
Like we ain't scared
And our boots ain't muddy
And [G]they all laugh
Like there's [D]something funny
'Bout the [Em]way I talk
When I say, "Mamma sends her [C]best, y'all"
I fold it up and put it in my shirt
Pick up my gun and get back to work
[G]And it kee[D]ps me drivin' on[Em]
Waitin' [C]on [D]letters from

[Interlude 1]
[G](home)[G][G][G]

[Verse 2]
[G]My dearest love, it's almost dawn
I've been lyin' here all night long
Wonderin' [C]where you might be
[G]I saw your mamma
And I showed her the ring
Man on the television
Said something
[C]So I couldn't sleep

[Pre-chorus 2]
[Em]But I'll be alrigh[D]t
I'm just missin' [C]you
And this is me [Am]kissin' you
X's and [D]O's in a letter from [G]home

[Chorus 2]
[C]I hold it up and show my buddies
Like we ain't scared
And our boots ain't muddy
And [G]they all laugh
'Cause she [D]calls me honey,
but they [Em]take it hard
'Cause I don't read the [C]good parts
I fold it up and put it in my shirt
Pick up my gun and get back to work
[G]And it kee[D]ps me drivin' on[Em]
Waitin' [C]on [D]letters from hom[G]e

[Bridge 1]
[C]Dear son, I know I ain't written
I'm sittin' here tonight alone in the kitchen
It oc[G]curs to me
I [D]might not have said it
So [Em]I'll say it now
"Son, you [C]make me [D]proud"[C]

[Chorus 3]
[C]I hold it up and show my buddies
Like we ain't scared
And our boots ain't muddy
But no [G]one laughs
'Cause there's [D]ain't nothin' funny
When a [Em]soldier cries
And I just [C]wipe my eyes
I fold it up and put it in my shirt
Pick up my gun and get back to work
[G]And it kee[D]ps me drivin' on[Em]
Waitin' [C]on [D]letters from
