The Soldiers' Last Letter - Merle Haggard
Progression:
-------------I---V7---I---II7---V7---I
Key: D
-------------D---A7---D---E7---A7---D


------I-------------------------------------------------V7-------------------------
1.  The postman delivered,                          a letter
2.  Dear Mom was the way that,                    it started

3.  I'm writing this down in,                   a trench Mom
4.  The captain just gave us,                     our orders

5.  Then the Mother's old hands,              began to tremble
6.  Then the Mother knelt down,                  by her bedside

7.  (repeat 3)


-------------------------------------------------------------I---------------------
1.   	 And it filled her old heart,                full of joy
2.   	               I love you so much,           it went on

3.             Don't scold if it isn't,               so neat
4.  And Mom we will carry,                       them through

5.  And she fought against tears,                 in her eyes
6.  And she prayed Lord above,                   hear my plea


----------------------------------------------------II7----------------------------
1.  But she didn't know,             'till she read the in side
2.  Mom I didn't know,                  that I loved you so

3.  The way that you did,                  when I was a kid
4.  And I'll finish this letter,       the first chance I get

5.  But they came unashamed,              for there was no name
6.  And protect all the sons that are,       fighting tonight


------------------V7---------------------------------------I-----------------------
1.  It was,   the last one from,              her darling boy
2.  But,       I'll prove it,                when I come home

3.  And I'd,     come home with mud,               on my feet
4.  But,      for now I'll just say,               I love you

5.  And,     she knew that her soldier,               had died
6.  And dear God,                            keep America free
