[Verse]
C                                
■ My dearest son it's almost June
                                           F             
I hope this letter catches up with you and finds you well
C                                           
■ It's been dry but they're callin' for rain
                                 F             
And everything's the same ol' in ■ Johnsonville
Am                   G                    F   
■  Your stubborn ol' daddy ain't said too much
                         Dm        Dm7 
But I'm sure you know he sends his love
             Gsus4 G                  C   
And she goes on    ■ in a letter from home


[Chorus]
F                                 
■ I hold it up and show my buddies
     F                                        
Like we ain't scared and our boots ain't muddy
C                               G              
And they all laugh like there's something funny
          Am                                    F         
'bout the way I talk when I say Mamma sends her best y'all
                     F             
I fold it up and put it in my shirt
                                    C
Pick up my gun and get back to work ■
       G                Am7 Am         F 
And it keeps me drivin' on  ■  waitin' on
G              C

[Verse]
                     C          
My dearest love it's almost dawn
                      C             
I've been layin' here all night long
F                           
Wonderin' where you might be
C                                          
■ I saw your mama and I showed her the ring
                      C             
Man on the television said something
F                    
■ So I couldn't sleep
Am          G                F          
But I'll be alright I'm just missin' you
               Dm         
And this is me kissin' you
Dm7 Gsus4   Dm7 G                C   
X's and O's ■   in a letter from home


[Chorus]
F                               
I hold it up and show my buddies
     F                                        
Like we ain't scared and our boots ain't muddy
C                             G             
And they all laugh 'cause she calls me honey
         Am                                   F         
But they take it hard 'cause I don't read the good parts
                     F             
I fold it up and put it in my shirt
                                    C
Pick up my gun and get back to work ■
       G                Am         F 
And it keeps me drivin' on waitin' on
G              C

[Bridge]
F                                
■ Dear son I know I ain't written
    F                                        
And sittin' here tonight alone in the kitchen
C                 G                         Am             
It occurs to me I might not have said it so I'll say it now
        F       G     F
Son you make me proud ■


[Chorus]
                 F              
I hold it up and show my buddies
     F                                        
Like we ain't scared and our boots ain't muddy
    C            
But no one laughs
G                                 Am            Am7
'cause ain't nothin' funny when a soldier cries ■  
           F           
And I just wipe my eyes
                 F              
I fold it up and put in my shirt
                                    C
Pick up my gun and get back to work ■
       G                Am         F  Gsus4
And it keeps me drivin' on waitin' on ■    


[Outro]
