Letter From Home Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]It's too hot to walk to the mailbox
But I go to check it [A]anyway
There's a letter from home
from my brother Joe
I wonder what he's got [D]to say

[Verse 2]
He says [D]daddy's fine,
But I'm afraid he thinks
he's Napoleon [G]again
But we're not worried [D]here,
'Cause he says [A]victory is close at [D]hand
[G]And mamma is glad
He's such [A]a confident man
[D]

[Verse 3]
You [G]really oughta think
about [D]coming home
And [G]they will be fine, just [D]leave 'em [A]a note
We got your [G]candle burning
and [D]we sent you a plane
If I were you I wouldn't [Bm]hesitate
You oughta [D]think about [A]coming home
[D]

[Verse 4]
[D]I asked Eileen to marry me
And somehow she [A]said, yes
But this came as no surprise
To [G]any[A]one I [D]guess
You [A]know the job

[Verse 5]
[D]is fine
And the '59, she's running
like a [G]top
Remember we could always [D]make it go
But we could [A]never make it [D]stop
We [G]learned to be thankful
Forever [A]what we [D]got

[Verse 6]
You [G]really oughta think
about [D]coming home
And [G]they will be fine, just [D]leave 'em [A]a note
We got [G]your candle burning
and we sen[D]t you a plane
If I were you I wouldn't [Bm]hesitate
You oughta [D]think about [A]coming [D]home

[Verse 7]
Whoa, you [G]really oughta think about [D]it
You [G]really oughta think [D]about it
You [G]really oughta think
about [D]coming home
You oughta think about [A]coming home
[D]

[Verse 8]
[Em]We all love you he[F#m]re you know
And [G]we understood when you
[A]had to go [Em]away
Can't be no [D]music [Bm]man in this
[D]little [G]town [A]anyway
[Em]But years got a way of [D]slipping by
And [G]I can count them i[A]n daddy's eyes
[Em]You gotta find[D] some time
[G]one of these days
[A]Oh, one of these days

[Verse 9]
You [G]really oughta think
about [D]coming home
And [G]they will be fine, just [D]leave 'em a note
[A]We got your can[G]dle burning
and [D]we sent you a plane
If I were you I wouldn't [Bm]hesitate
You oughta [D]think about [A]coming [D]home

[Verse 10]

If I were you I wouldn't [Bm]hesitate
You oughta [D]think about [A]coming [D]home
