[A]My dearest son it's almost June,

Everything's the same ol' same,
In [D]Johnsonville,

[F#m] Your stuborn old d[E]addy ain't said too m[D]uch,
But I'm sure you know he s[Bm]ends his love,
And she goes [Esus-E]on, in a letter from h[A]ome,
(chorus)
[D]I hold it up and show my buddy's like we ain't scared
and our boots ain't muddy, And t[A]hey all laugh,
Like there's [E]somethin funny bout the way I[F#m] talk,
When I say mama sends her b[D]est ya'll,
I f[D]old it up and put it in my shirt,
Pick up my gun and get back to work,

Waitin o[D]n,[-] [E] Letters from h[A]ome,
