Version 1
            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
