Chords and lyrics for Letters From Home by John Michael Montgomery (key of C).
Intro
[C]
Verse 1
[C]My dearest son, it's almost June
I hope this letter catches up with you
And [F]finds you well
[C]It's been dry but they're callin' for rain
Everything's the same ol' same
In [F]Johnsonville
Pre-Chorus
[Am] Your stubborn old [G]daddy ain't said too [F]much
But I'm sure you know he [Dm]sends his love
And she goes [Gsus]on, [G] in a letter from [C]home
Chorus
[F]I hold it up and show my buddies like we ain't scared
and our boots ain't muddy, and [C]they all laugh
Like there's [G]somethin' funny 'bout the way I[Am] talk
When I say mama sends her [F]best ya'll
I [F]fold it up and put it in my shirt
Pick up my gun and get back to work
[C] And it [G]keeps me drivin'[Am] on
Waitin' [F]on, [G] letters from [C]home
Verse 2
[C]My dearest, love it's almost dawn
I've been lyin' here all night long
Wonderin'[F] where you might be
[C]I saw your mama and I showed her the ring
Man on the television said something
[F]So I couldn't sleep
Pre-Chorus
[Am] But I'll be [G]alright, I'm just missin' [F]you
And this is me [Dm]kissin' you, X's and [Gsus]O's[G]
In a letter from [C]home
Chorus
[F]I hold it up and show my buddies like we ain't scared
and our boots ain't muddy, and [C]they all laugh
Cause she [G]calls me honey but they [Am]take it hard
Cause I don't read the [F]good part
I [F]fold it up and put it in my shirt
Pick up my gun and get back to work
[C] And it [G]keeps me drivin'[Am] on
Waitin' [F]on, [G] letters from [C]home
Bridge
[F]Dear son, I know I ain't written
But [F]sittin' here tonight alone in the kitchen it [C]occurs to me
I [G]might not have said it so I'll [Am]say it now
Son, you make me [F][G]proud[F]
Chorus
[F]I hold it up and show my buddies like we ain't scared
and our boots ain't muddy, but no [C]one laughs
Cause there [G]ain't nothin' funny when a [Am]soldier cries
And I just [F]wipe my eyes
I[F] fold it up and put it in my shirt,
Pick up my gun and get back to work,
[C] And it [G]keeps me drivin'[Am] on
Waitin' [F]on, [Gsus] [G] letters from [C]home
