Soldiers Last Letter Tab de uke por Ernest Tubb

C                            G7
When the postman delivered a letter
 
                                 C
It filled her dear heart full of joy
 
                             D7
But she didn't know till she read the inside
 
           G7                        C
It was the last one from her darling boy
 
 
 
 
                             G7
Dear Mom was the way that it started
 
                           C
I miss you so much it went on
 
                       D7
Mom I didn't know that I loved you so
 
         G7                        C
But I'll prove it when this war is won
 
 
 
 
                                  G7
I'm writing this down in a trench Mom
 
                           C
Don't scold if it isn't so neat
 
                    D7
You know as you did when I was a kid
 
        G7                       C
And I'd come home with mud on my feet
 
 
 
 
                             G7
The captain just gave us our orders
 
                           C
And Mom we will carry them through
 
                            D7
I'll finish this letter the first chance I get
 
          G7                 C
But now I'll just say I love you
 
 
 
 
                                     G7
Then the mother's old hands began to tremble
 
                                    C
And she fought against tears in her eyes
 
                            D7
But they came unashamed for there was no name 
 
        G7                        C
And she knew that her darling had died
 
 
 
 
                               G7
That night as she knelt by her bedside
 
                              C
She prayed Lord above hear my plea
 
                         D7
And protect all the sons that are fighting tonight
 
         G7               C
And dear God keep America free
