Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][Csus4][C][G]
[C][F][G]

[Verse 1]
Well I [C]found
a bunch of letters
That were written for the fellow who
[G]broke your momma's heart
And the en[C]velope folds smelled
of her ancient per[G]fume
[F]I'll bet she didn't [G]know
How to [C]respond before
[G]the blankets [Am]of snow
[G]Caught him out [F]wandering [G]alone
With no place to go
[C][F][C]

[Verse 2]
[F]
There were stars in [G]the sky
There were [C]houses on the [G]hill
And there [Am]bottles of pill[G]s
that were [F]easy to buy
To [G]keep her warm from the
on[C]coming [F]storm[C]

[Verse 3]
Well I [C]found them in the northwest
corner of the attic in a [G]box
Labeled tinsel and lights
Didn't [C]know what I was I looking for
Maybe just a blanket or ar[G]tifacts
[F]Eisenhower sent him [G]to war
He kept her pic[C]ture in his [G]pocket
that was [Am]closest to his [G]heart
And when [F]he hit shore
[G]Must have been a target for
the gun[C]man[F]
[C]

[Verse 4]
[F]
There were stars in [G]the sky
There were [C]bunkers on the [G]hill
and there were [Am]caskets to fill
[G]Where he [F]will lie
[G]Shrouded in the red white and
[C]blue with the stripes

[Verse 5]
[F]
There were stars in [G]the sky
There were [C]houses on the [G]hill
And there were [Am]bottles of pill
[G]s that were e[F]asy to buy
To [G]keep her warm from the on
[C]coming [F]storm
[C][F][C][F][C]
