Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]My dearest mama,
they just gave us [G]time to write
I [A]miss you and there's
something on my [D]mind tonight
At mail call,
I received your [G]letter here today
[A]But I don't understand
the things you [D]say

[Verse 2]
You [D]tell me there are people
[G]marching in our streets
The [A]signs they carry say that we
don't [D]fight for peace
There's not a soldier in this foreign [G]land,
who likes this war
Oh [A]mama, tell them what
we're fighting [D]for

[Verse 3]
[G]Tell them that we're fighting for the [D]old red,
white and blue
Did [G]they forget Pearl Harbor
[D]an d Korea [A]too
An[G]other flag must never fly
[D]above our nation's door
[A]Oh mama, tell them what
we're fighting [D]for
[Eb]

[Verse 4]
From Maine to California,
there [Ab]are many noble men
[Bb]Who know the p[Bbm]rice o[Bb]f war and pray,
[Eb]we'd never fight again
But the world must learn, that we will fight,
we [Ab]will protect our shore
Oh [Bb]mama, tell them what
we're fighting [Eb]for
Oh [Bb]mama, tell them what
we're fighting [Eb]for
[Bb]Oh mama, tell them what we're fighting for
