[A] [Em] [D]
[A]
[D] This could be my [A] last letter.
I [Bm] may never see [G] the cotton fields [D] of home [A] again.
[D]
[A] [D] I miss you, [A] dear sister.
[Bm] Tonight I [G] never felt so [D] all alone.
[A]
And [Bm] the fog was so [G] thick [D] that the stones, [A] rivers, stars
would [B] [Bm] scarcely [G] invade [D] the dread [Bm] and [A] the dark.
[D] I [C#m] could see [B] when [Bm] I closed my [D] eyes, the dream was [G] home,
sweet [A] home.
[Em]
[Bm] [A]
In the [D] camps of a round [A] forest, [Bm] the [D] midnight [G] coals
were glowing through [D] the haze.
[Bm] [A]
[D] The Union boys [A] sang, Hail, [B] Columbia.
And [G] we sang, Look [D] away, [Bm] look [A] away.
And [Bm] then a hush in [G] the rain, and [D] there rose [Bm] a sweet [A] refrain
in [B] the dark before [G] dawn.
[D] And instead [Bm] of battle [A] songs, [D] and me,
[A] [Bm] all sang a melody [D] of [G] home, sweet [A] home.

So
[D] if this is my [A] last letter, [B] and I never
see [G] the cotton fields [A] of home [D]
[A] again,
[D] and if I fall here at [A] Stone's [C#] River,
I [B] know that [A] God will [G]
bear away my [D] soul to [G] be with [A] him.
[Bm] And I'll wait for [G] you there, [D] where all is bright and fair,
where [Bm] the light of his [G] face [D] [Bm] outshines the blue [A] and gray,
[D] where all of [C#m]
humankind, [Bm] yes, every man will [F#m] find his [G] home,
[A] sweet home.
